Those two are one and the same.

"Let me put it this way.
Conservatives believe in God. Liberals believe in Santa Claus."

That would be said correctly like this...

Conservatives believe in their own self-serving vision of God and use it to pass judgement on others. Liberals believe in the freedom of religion that our nation was founded on.

On a side note, who cares who believes in God, at least for us Americans, God is a non-issue in a political forum. Well unless you want be unconstitutional.

Some of my favorite Jefferson quotes are right here: http://www.usiap.org/Legacy/Quotes/ThomasJefferson.html

They don't list the source so you'll have a good time trying to prove all of them.

Unless it has changed since I was a child, both the Supreme Court and Congress open their sessions with a prayer. Hardly constitutional as you say. Maybe you should tell them.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

This simply means it's not the government's place to impose religion and should respect all religions. Nobody is saying that you can't be religious, I'm sure that some of the founding fathers very proudly religious having made the break from government imposed religion as in England.
So yes the government trying to impose a religion or trying to imply that christianity is the correct way or the American way does go against the constitution.
