Everybody who is anybody knows it is Atlanta. Everybody knows this.
Only a nobody would disagree.
If you would have said Atlanta is the capital of the southEAST I would agree. However saying Atlanta is the capital of the entire south with Houston and Dallas included is laughable. Both Dallas and especially Houston have bigger economies and a higher gdp than Atlanta.
Tier I: Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas
Tier II: Charlotte, Austin, Nashville, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando, Tampa, San Antonio
Tier III: Memphis, Louisville, Richmond, New Orleans, Birmingham, Jacksonville
Tier IV: Little Rock, Jackson, Knoxville, Charleston, Columbia, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, El Paso, Augusta, Mobile
Hampton Roads? Greensboro/Winston-Salem? Greenville/Spartanburg? Ft Myers/Cape Coral (SW Florida)? Tulsa? Knoxville?
All over a million by CSA and all missing from the list. Those are the ones off the top of my head.

Look at the poll above, bro...look at the poll above.
The Sun Belt stretches from coast to coast. There is no main city. I guess you're asking about the South or Southeast, in which case Atlanta is the winner.
If it's the Southeast, it's Atlanta. If it's the South in general. It's a mix of four cities (Miami, Houston, Atlanta, Dallas). If it's the entire sunbelt, there is simply no main city.
