Hello, I know this conversation is half a year old, but I wanted to let you know that in Arabic, many people besides Muslims use the word "allah" as a general term for "god," regardless of which god it is.
Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews all use the word "allah" for their god, and some Sikhs and nondenominational/polytheists use the word "allah" as well.

You were correct in your assumption that it has basically the same function as the English word "god," and I'm unsure why some here are claiming otherwise.

Thank you! I've heard my Muslims friends use the word many times, and in Spanish we have some idioms with it, legacy of our Arabian era (like "ojalá" for "I wish"). That's why I didn't think people would find it offensive. But it obviously depends on the country or social customs.

Anyway, apart from that and a small reference to praying time during the day, there aren't any religious comments in the game. It would feel strange to have a story set in Middle Ages without any religious background, that's all.
