Nope... the religious right has decided he's not conservative enough. See religion.

Perry's stated religion is United Methodist. Isn't the President also a Methodist?

Yes... the President is United Methodist.

The Southern Baptists who think they control the definition of "conservative" in this state generally consider UMs to be liberals.

AFAIK, Bush the Elder is Episcopalian??? But Southern Methodist University (SMU) seems to hold claim to the Prez, perhaps through Laura.
