To be completely honest, no. That's like asking "do I have to be Jewish to follow the 10 Commandments?" Just because you don't kill people doesn't mean you have to be Jewish. You should only follow the 8 Fold Path if you agree with the 4 Noble Truths. I think it is very interesting to be a different religion and still incorporate other religions into your own life.

Is the eightfold path is impossible to follow?
Nothing in the Eightfold Path is prohibitive for any Buddhist to follow. Other criteria such as the need for celibacy are applicable to monks, but these are not part of the Eightfold Path.Answer:The eightfold path is practised on the path of meditation. The path of meditation is the fourth of the five paths which encompass the whole journey until complete enlightenment. On the path of meditation you go from the 2. Bhumi to the 10. Bhumi.So, unless a lay practitioner (Buddhist) is already a 2. Bhumi-Bodhisattva (a highly realised being), it would be unrealistic to expect that he or she can perfectly practise the eightfold path right now.However, it is no unrealistic that a lay practitioner will at some point be able to practise the eightfold path since the scriptures explain in detail how to reach this level and there are accounts of realised beings who have gotten this far and even further.
