Upworthy.com by Adam Mordecai:
"Oprah Tells An Atheist She Believes In God. The Atheist Responds Like A Christian. Or Any Human."

Description: "I'm an atheist. PLEASE DON'T CLOSE THIS WINDOW YET! By being an atheist, I am in no way judging others' beliefs. I just lack them. Same with Diana Nyad, the world class swimmer and all-around awesome human being. We still have moral codes, just like everyone else. We just are slightly different. Which Oprah didn't think was possible. However, Oprah recovered nicely toward the end and really listened, which was a pleasant surprise. Yay for civilized conversation!"

Charisma News, by Kimberly Winston for Religious News Service:
"Why the Atheist Agenda Is Furious at Oprah"

Description: "Within a day or two of the broadcast, several prominent atheist leaders and organizations issued statements expressing disappointment with Winfrey. Most saw in the talk show host’s rejection of Nyad’s atheism what polls, studies and often their own experience tell them—that atheists are among the least trusted and least liked Americans."

For Oprah: Don't relabel atheists! (#12)

In response to Oprah Winfrey's biased comments against atheists in an October 2013 interview, the Boston Atheists are asking for support in asking her for an apology and some gesture of acknowledgment and affirmation toward the secular community. Whether that means inviting she invites Edwina Rogers, Eddie Izzard, and Stephen Fry for a sit-down on camera to talk about secular activism and atheist aesthetics, depends entirely on how much noise we can make about this!
