In the United States, No.
From the United States Constitution in Article VI, section 3:
no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
This has been interpreted to mean that no metaphysical belief is required or may be inquired of.
In many nations, this is not true. Monarchies have long held that citizens who wish to hold office must state their belief in a deity and the the divine right of the monarch of the nation to rule.
