I have noticed that liberals, despite their repeated calls to the contrary, want to impose their beliefs on others while conservatives do not.

I have an explanation for that.

Conservatives believe in objective truth and morality, defined by and given by our Creator. There is no need to impose that on anyone, it just IS.

Liberals deny the existance of objective truth and objective right and wrong. When these things are not objective, they are defined by the individual, and inherently conflict.
Therefore, what is “right” and “true” is determined by who obtains and uses the power to impose their “truth” on others. Government therefore becomes GOD to them.

That would depend on the type of conservative. Social conservatives are notorious for wanting to impose beliefs. Remember the old saying "Democrats want government out of your bedroom and into your wallet, Republicans want government out of your wallet and into your bedroom."
