Chattanooga has fallen from grace.
The Scenic City is no longer the number one most Bible-minded city in the United States, according to a new study from the American Bible Society.
Chattanooga ranked first on last year's list. This year it ranks second, behind Birmingham, Ala.
Another Tennessee region, the Tri-Cities ranked third on the Top 10 list.
Knoxville-which ranked No. 1 in the 2013 Bible-Minded Cities list-dropped out of the top 10 this year, coming in at No. 11.
