IMO No. Nicety perhaps. Personal decision most definately. But not duty. Revolving one's life choices around one's own moral compass is all that can be expected of a person, indeed it is all a person can really do at all. Do whatever allows you to sleep well at night. Just what this exactly entails differs from person to person, but it is all that one can really do.
Belief in in a righteous, universal cause can make lifes' decisions a little easier, but it can also leave one vulnerable to the manipulations of others. Do what you feel you must, when you feel it is right to do it, and you'll finish off your lifetime with a clear conscience and little peace of mind. That's all you can ever ask for.
