I think there may be some truth in this, but most of Newton's religion took place in his later "crazier" days (like, when he took up alchemy, and when he decided to gouge himself in the eye, for some strange reason!).

By the way, I'm not putting down any of Newton's work here: he was a genius. To be made a fellow of the royal society, and hold the Lucasian chair of mathematics at Cambridge before he was 30 is testimony to that!
