In the past, Oprah was very narrow in her religious belief system. To wit, she would not even read the first page of a manuscript that proposed a more rational view of the world. In more recent years, she discover how much money is in the market for "new age" and other viewpoints that aren't necessarily bound to religious belief. Thus, my take on Oprah is she's largely opportunistic and primarily focused on creating financial wealth for herself. I avoid her, her products, and her network assiduously.

The Color Purple was full of awe and wonder I saw Oprah play a woman beaten into submission so she was blind to awe and wonder I am a lifelong Atheist and she is a billionaire bigot

Oy vey. And she's supposed to be so wise...
