Wizard of Oz

I think that the worldview of The Wizard of Oz lies somewhere between a Christian and athiest worldview. This is so because in the beginning Dorthy and her friend think that the wizard is in a sense God and controls everything. But later on they find that he is a fraud and that the only way to return home was in themselves, they just had to find it. So they are presented with a false God that tries to decieve them which represents the devil. But the controversial part is that instead of finding an escape through a real God, they must find it within themselves.
