=== Religion === {{main|Religion in Atlanta}} Religion in Atlanta, while historically centered on [[Protestant Christianity]], now encompasses many faiths, as a result of the city and metro area's increasingly international population. Some 63% of residents identified as some type of Protestant according to the [[Pew Research Center]] in 2014,<ref>{{cite web|last=Lipka|first=Michael|title=Major U.S. metropolitan areas differ in their religious profiles|url=https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/07/29/major-u-s-metropolitan-areas-differ-in-their-religious-profiles/|access-date=January 6, 2022|website=Pew Research Center|date=July 29, 2015 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pewforum.org/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/ |title=America's Changing Religious Landscape |publisher=[[Pew Research Center]]: Religion & Public Life |date=May 12, 2015}}</ref> but in recent decades the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta|Roman Catholic Church]] has increased in numbers and influence because of new migrants to the region.
