What would happen if someone, after being sworn into office on a holy book, changed religions a couple of months later? (lemmy.world)

Would their oath be null and void? Would they have to be sworn in again on a new book?

Yeah like you have to swear on a Bible to testify in a court in us. The Bible doesn't really matter, it's basically just a ceremony to ensure you know that you must tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
