Conservatives (at least a very vocal portion of conservatives) would like to restrict Americans' freedom so they are not free to engage in immorality. Liberals oppose these bits of legislation. Liberals support a broader degree of freedom than conservatives.

Wrong, wrong and...wrong.
You either don't talk to many conservatives or your brain auto-translates what they say to fit your preconceived notion of what conservatives want.
No one is pushing a mandatory, teacher-led prayer in school. In fact, I really don't think too many conservatives are pushing school prayer in general any more.
Also, most conservatives really aren't interested in stopping you from whatever immorality you want to practice. Conservatives nowadays are more interested in protecting the rest of us from being taught that your immorality is really ok and moral. Recent examples include asking internet porn sites to have a "metacode" put in their site so that internet blocking software can block those sites from our children instead of allowing them to slip through. The ACLU is vehemently opposing this on "free speech" grounds.
