I find it funny that the most colorful presidential candidate in recent memory (except Trump and Biden, obviously) has her own page on the website of the World Religions and Spirituality Project.
Yes, that would be New Age teacher Marianne Williamson.
I didn´t know she was Jewish or had a background in ACIM (A Course In Miracles) specifically, while her connections to the hippie counter-culture are perhaps less surprising. In fact, I didn´t know she even existed before her 2020 bid for the Dem nomination. In reality, Williamson is apparently the most popular promoter of ACIM, propelled to fame through Oprah Winfrey Show! Note that she has de-Christianized ACIM (which purports to be a channeled message from Jesus) to give it a wider appeal (presumably in New Age and secular circles).
The WRSP entry hasn´t been updated since 2020, so I include a second link about her 2024 primary campaign, which she recently suspended.
