But you referred to the "god of creation." Surely all religions (those with a creation model, that is) consider the Creator in the proper noun form vs. the gods of the sun or fertility rites or reason or rain, etc.

So you think it's blasphemous if people claim that the term "God" can also mean the gods of the sun or fertility rites or reason or rain, etc.?

Basically, yes. To equate in any way the God of creation with anything else that mankind can worship or call "god" is just about THE definition of blasphemy.
