Atlanta is not THAT bad ! Stay away from rush hour traffic and take the Interstate straight through. Keep to the right, relax and drive the minimum speed.
X2 on going right through downtown, if you must go through Atlanta. I used to go around on the bypass, but it was like a Nascar race. Last time I decided to go through downtown; 40 mph was about as fast as anyone could go, but traffic moved freely. No stress, and only added about 15 minutes to the trip.
Only trouble with the interstates IMHO is that if there is a wreck, you're stuck. Usually on the side roads there are options.
Either way, safe travels.
