Decidedly NOT.
Logical Positivism started in the early years of the twentieth century and was "dead" by the 1950's. Naturalistic world views have been held for many hundreds of years beforehand and in the decades afterwards.
If you want a good example of a naturalistic world view look at Popper. He was definitely not a Logical Positivist, he claimed to have killed it off (his autobiography) and was called "The Unofficial Opposition" by the Vienna Circle. (Brian Magee's book on Popper is very good).

No, naturalism of various stripes were around before Logical Positivism and will be around long after.

I have difficulty distinguishing between the two terms. While the tangled web of relationships between the myriad terms used to describe similar such philosophical approaches to understanding reality may indeed be rigorously elucidated by discussion, this sort of exploration is beyond my capability to follow and I think only obfuscates ideas which to me seem intuitive.
