That's... a bit of an over simplification. It was a common statement of a generally justifiable philosophical tool that happened to be commonly used by theologians like Occam (who wasn't that first to use the idea - Aristotle stated something similar). The intertwining of philosophy and theology makes it related but I'd say your characterization was simplistic and quite incorrect overall.
