Would he have served the state, as was his sworn duty, or served his religion?

He would have served the state.
Romans 13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.
He just wouldn't have let the high ranking Jews blackmail him into perverting justice in Jesus' case.
John 19:12 From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar."

Of course the pilot could have been a xtian, there were a handful around.
It cannot be said that the man from Nazareth committed no crime. He was a trouble-maker.
PP would have said 'It is therefore with great regret that the law obliges me to impose the death penalty. May God have mercy on your soul"

Besides the fact there was no such thing as a 'christian' during Pilate's time.....
Do you think he did not hear what Yahshua was doing? Yahshua's 'reputation' had preceded him. Which is why Pilate did not want to crucify Him. He had committed no crime, according to Caesar. Pilate was doing exactly what he was supposed to do.

At that time in history, he probably would have been forced out of his political position if he came out openly for Christ.
