Why are we accustomed to saying "he/she believes in God"? This

I have been engaged in long term arguments with some of my fellow
atheists about this. But I still entirely fail to comprehend their (and
your) claim.
If we say
(1) He believes in Santa Claus.
or
(2) She believes that the Earth is flat.
does that indirectly imply that the Earth is flat or that Santa Claus is
real?
I really would appreciate some help with this. But note that I will be
on the road for the next week and don't know how frequently I'll be able
to participate in the discussion.
