Description of the Flag
The flag is blue with the city seal in yellow. Before I go on, I will answer what may be the first two questions after reading the flag information. First, while there is a civic flag, I have never seen or run across documentation of the city ensign or the city pennant. Maybe the flag is meant to be at least the flag and ensign; however, it is not in the shape of a pennant. Apparently, the pennant (and ensign) were never adopted. Secondly, many may ask about Atlanta being landlocked. While the city is landlocked, the Chattahoochee River flows through and by the city so an ensign is not totally out of the question.
The flag ordinance of the City of Atlanta

Berkeley Park

Berkeley Park is located in northwest Atlanta, GA, just west of Midtown and below the southern boundary of Buckhead.
The flag was designed in 2005 by Patrick Brady of Berkeley Park. The geese are a common sight in Berkeley Park as we often see and hear them flying overhead to and from their home at the City Water Reservoir. They are a symbol of the unity of our neighbors and the strength and voice we have as a group within the City of Atlanta. The flag can be seen here: http://www.berkeleypark.org/flag.asp.

Is Atlanta Georgia a really religious city?
Very much so, mainly Christian. You have other religions as well, but it is predominantly Christian. As with anywhere it is a mixed faith and non-faith (atheist) state. If you are not a Christian you will find yourself in major debate's with others who are Christian's, as many Christians believe that through Christ is the only way to salvation and heaven and all other beliefs are lies spread by an evil being. However for other religions you have some who feel theirs is the only right way. Some religions seek peace upon your own spiritual path, but in the south religion is a subject with multiple views and beliefs. It is NOT my belief to down or degrade anyone for their belief's regardless of what they are or whether or not they believe anything at all. With that said religion is a serious and personal debate among many southerners and if you are not wanting a debate you many want to research or visit like-minded individuals with your own belief or non-belief system.
