    I'd definitely say that in order to believe in God one must have an imagination. I can't really imagine someone believing in God and not having an imagination.

I think it's quite easy for people to have a belief in God and have no imagination. For a large group of believers God becomes the answer for anything they can't wrap their intellect or imagination around. Don't have the imagination to think about tiny incremental changes over billions of years leading to complex and intelligent life? I'm not saying your particular belief in God fails prey to this kind of thinking, but I think it's quite easy to imagine someone having a belief in God and a complete and utter lack of imagination.
