Actually, no.
"But if the matter be truly considered, natural philosophy is, after the word of God, at once the surest medicine against superstition"
Duh. It says 'philosophy' not religion. Every intelligent person knows that Bacon separated philosophy from religion. That was one dumb post you made!
Now for the better quote related to your feeble, failed argument. It very specifically separates religion from philosophy, in fact in his comparison, he lumps religion with superstition. So much for your 'hero'.
Actually yes! (from your link)
(Bacon): "Neither is it to be forgotten that in every age natural philosophy has had a troublesome and hard to deal with adversary — namely, superstition, and the blind and immoderate zeal of religion."
