In the early 1950s, a Presbyterian minister in New York gave a sermon in which he railed against the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance because it contained no references to God. According to the reverend, the American pledge could serve just as well in the atheistic Soviet Union; there was nothing in the U.S. pledge to distinguish it from an oath to the godless communist state. So in 1954, Congress passed a law that inserted the phrase "under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance.

Including God in the nation's pledge would send a clear message to the world that unlike communist regimes that denied God's existence, the United States recognized a Supreme Being. Official acknowledgement of God would further distinguish freedom-loving Americans from their atheist adversaries.

Oliver Stone was born to a Jewish father and a Catholic mother who raised young Oliver as an Episcopalian which is not far off from my own life experience since my father was in the military and my mother was a teacher and I was raised by the Mario brothers. But back to Stone, he converted to Buddhism as an adult and like all those before him, he claims that his spirituality is embedded into his movies.
