Wow, this is from her pre-Oprah Winfrey Show days. She is, I think, very open minded. She is known for her ability to make people comfortable and open up so I think in general she comes across as warm and sympathetic. I think you should remember that this was very early in her career and she was young and very close to her Christian upbringing.
You might want to watch other later SuperSoul Sunday's interviews on her network like with Thich Nhat Hanh. I think her beliefs evolved but she has always strongly believed in a "higher power and that comes across in her treatment of the atheists.
The interesting thing about atheists (as opposed to agnostics) criticizing religious faith is that atheism too requires some faith. After all how can you prove there is no god?
The other woman who is an Atheist is also very young, looks younger than Oprah. So, being young has nothing to do with having this or that belief. People can be evolved at any age. I have heard a lot about Oprah, obviously, so I just wanted to know if this is her normal behaviour on her chat show. Maybe it isn't so now. So, that's okay. In this video though, Oprah comes across as someone not very intelligent.
I was really impressed with the atheist woman whose name is Annie Laurie Gaylor. She was lucid, articulate and so composed. She really defended her stance in a dignified way against everyone in the show.
I think the point is that there is no evidence towards the existence of god. So, atheists just don't want to believe in something for the sake of it. If there's reasonable evidence, they'll believe it. It's like how do you prove tooth fairies aren't real.
