The guy who sits next to me is quite religiously conservative from what I can tell, and had never had beer until he'd been working at the company for over a year[1], but his conservatism has never caused problems. I think it maybe was explicitly discussed once that I know, when he got into a political discussion with someone at a work event that wasn't on the clock. I don't even think anyone was offended at the time. Frankly, the obnoxious coworker in this case is me, because he has to listen to me saying "goddamnit"[1] from right next to him all the time. I wouldn't want someone who would be a dick to people in the office, but if you can be professional regardless of your personal beliefs, that's enough. [1] At my computer, not at people.
