New Hampshire State Rep. Sherry Frost was first elected in 2016, and she’s never tried to hide who she is from the general public. She’s even referred to her godlessness on social media.
She’s not alone as an atheist in New Hampshire. By my count, as of last week, there were 6 non-religious people in the NH legislature including one person, Rep.
