"I hope the Supreme Court will finally read the Constitution and see there's no such thing, or no mention, of separation of church and state in the Constitution" - Tom DeLay, March 1, 2005.

I'm trying to figure out the logical difference, and all I can come up with is that the so-called "absolute" standpoint means that the government can establish a state religion and persecute the practitioners of other belief systems as long as it is not written down in law. Given that making laws is all Congress does, I'm not sure what they think this would enable them to do.
