"scientific materialism," as I use the term, usually refers to the idea that
"The cosmos is all there is, all there ever was, and all there ever will
be," to borrow Carl Sagan's words.
"methodological naturalism," as Robin Collins and I defined it in an
encyclopedia of sci & rel, is "the belief that science should explain
phenomena only in terms of entities and properties that fall within the
category of the natural, such as by natural laws acting either through known
causes or by chance"
