Well, god botherers certainly see them as aligned, if not the same..positions. However, god botherers see all sorts of shit. 
If there was somthing that was "made of ideas" out there - it would just be something made of a different substance, add it to the periodic table in it's own column, lol.. If everything were "made of ideas" then it's just -the- substance. Where, in that, we find a god...is just another issue of god botherers seeing all sorts of shit. Cups, are made of ideas, or matter. Tables, chairs, the freckles on my face. "God" as conceived is made of neither until someone can show that god -is-.
(idealists will have to forgive me for speaking in materialese, up above, it's my native language)
