As the aphorism says, "There are no atheists in foxholes". That means that when a person is faced with extreme stress, fear, or threat to their lives, most everyone will turn to God; e.g. there are no atheists when faced with death. More importantly, religion was much more revered in the 1940s. People in the 1940s lived their religious creeds, whether Christian or Jew (the two primary faiths in the US then). To NOT see religious beliefs portrayed in Saving Private Ryan would have removed a large indelible image of men bravely charging on despite fear...when surrounded by the blood of their comrades as it soaked the sands and turned the water's tide red.
