They are not considered to be the same, though both are close relatives of the piano. A keyboard typically produces sound via an electronic speaker, while an organ produces sound by mechanically moving air through pipes. An organ also has foot pedals to play low notes, which keyboards lack. The organ is usually the much larger instrument of the two.
