The Hollowverse informs that Oprah was brought up as a Baptist, but at one moment in her life she felt some discrepancy between prayers and her inner beliefs. That prompted her to join a stream of New Age spiritualism developed by Ekhart Tolle. Oprah is even said to organize her own religion. She performs numerous seminars and public speeches expressing her ideas of enlightenment and says that there are many other ways of believing in God. 

She once said: "Everything that I am has come from my belief in that which I call God and it is no longer a person out there or in the sky, but my belief in understanding that there was a power, a being that loved me". (Source: 09/28/2015, christianpost.com)
