No
Added: Not in the STRICTEST sense of the definitions. However you could be a Conservative with liberal views on some subjects (often referred to as a "Moderate" Conservative") or you could be a Liberal with conservative views on some subjects (identified as a "Moderate" Liberal).

It is not common practice to identify as both a liberal and a conservative simultaneously since they represent distinct political ideologies that often have conflicting values and beliefs. Individuals may hold a mix of liberal and conservative views on different issues, but ultimately, most people align more closely with one ideology over the other.

What is the difference between a social conservative and a fiscal conservative?

Why don't liberals believe in God?
This question falls prey to several sad suppositions. It suggests that all liberals are godless and all conservatives are godly. It suggests that to be godly a person must be not liberal but conservative. None of those is true. There is much depth and scope to the relationships between religious beliefs and political or moral stance. Each of us is able to have a different religious belief or political stance from the next person. It is in our nature to differ on the same things. There are people who think that, if a person follows a particular religion or political belief, it means they are moral or immoral. That is entirely wrong; a person's morality is not dependent upon a particular religion or a particular political belief. Most statistics might suggest that Christians comprise a larger share of the conservative sector and non-Christians are usually a part of the liberal sector. The Census Bureau's 2008 ARIS survey showed that only 15% of Americans replied they do not believe in God or are unsure if there can be a God. Take any two people, one who identifies as a conservative and one as a liberal. Each tends to think in different ways. But it is not possible to determine the reasons why a person decides to follow a particular political or religious belief system without inquiring of the individual person. In the case of politics and religion, all stereotypes are entirely wrong.
What is the significance of labels in US politics?
It may be that out of a third of a billion people in the US, no two people have precisely the same political opinions about everything (although some doubtlessly are quite similar). The only way to make any kind of sense out of such a diverse body of opinion is to try to sort people into categories, such as liberal or conservative, and so forth. This creates more manageable groups for which strategies can be developed, in terms of policies that will appeal to those groups. Members of such groups have significant points of agreement, even if they also have considerable disagreements. Certain issues have a kind of defining quality to them. All conservatives oppose abortion and same sex marriage, all liberals support abortion rights and same sex marriage. Other issues are harder to pin down, but we try.

Is the LA Times liberal or conservative?
Yes and no. Its editorial page has a tendency to lean liberal (it should be noted that this was not always the case), but its reporting is generally objective. Many conservatives like to insist the Times is liberal because of its opinion columnists, but the majority of newspapers separate their opinion pages from the rest of the newspaper-- for example, the Wall Street Journal's opinion pages are quite conservative and Republican, whereas the rest of the paper tends to be fairly objective business reporting. The same is true for the Times: it has some famous liberal commentators (and some famous conservative commentators too) but its reporting is known for being centrist.
