Given around 20% of the US population are atheist or agnostic, there must have been. However, it's very unusual for a US politician to openly describe themselves as a atheist.
Bernie Sanders is Junior Senator and he is probably the closest thing to an openly atheist senator at the moment.

You can be sure that there have been -- and will continue to be -- atheists in The Senate and The House. Most simply do not admit it due to political or social pressure.
