Nope. Way off here. Philosophy is purely a mental playground where anyone can flesh out a fanciful idea and not have to worry about proving anything. In philosophy you are not required to support your view, it is nice if you are able to and it does lend some credence to the view you are expressing, but not all important. Philosophy is now mainly for those who need to buy time in college or university till they decide what exactly to do with their lives. Philosophy is mental filler.

Science is the search for understanding and explanation by the employment of strict rules.

Religion is simply belief and requires no support whatsoever.
