Atlanta Is One Of The Most ‘Sinful’ Cities In U.S.

A new study has determined that Atlanta is one of the most “sinful” cities in the nation.

WalletHub’s study compared 180 cities using 39 relevant metrics based on the Seven Deadly Sins of anger, hatred, jealousy, vices, greed, lust, vanity and laziness. Las Vegas ranked No.1 on the study, Los Angeles followed while St. Louis, Houston, and Atlanta rounded out the top five.

The study tries to measure the Biblical sins, using 39 metrics including hate-crime incidents and the number of active Tinder users. Scores are based on a 100 point scale.
