He very probably didn't intend it as he was still very much an Anglican as a young man (after all, he once studied to become a theologian), but, after he had invented it, it did have that effect on him. There are letters in which he bemoans the conflicts he has with his dear wife (who helped him in his work) about the religious implications of the theory.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
