Modern American culture doesn't seem to take any form of conflict of interest in politics seriously(*), so it's a reach to believe that you'd actually need to resign.

That said, if there was a well-defined culturally-accepted philosophy behind why folks with religious beliefs couldn't hold office, I don't think it'd be any weirder than, say, resigning from a job doing DoD stuff because you've become a pacifist.

I'm not necessarily talking about the US.
