I find it hard to wrap my head around the idea that mentioning god is not a reference to religion if you don't point out a specific denomination. Sounds a little far fetched to me. God is a vital part of many religions, mentioning a god is mentioning those religions. Mentioning a god is also an exclusion of any religion that is not specifically monotheistic.
