I have a feeling you'd defend a Muslim's right to say "Mohammed" and "Allah". Of course that's just an educated guess based on our many online encounters.

"Mohammed," no. That would not be appropriate (though Muslims don't pray to Mohammed).
"Allah" is acceptable, as it is simply the Arabic name for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, whom most all of us worship.
Better to address one's prayers to "God," however, in deference to the beliefs of the great majority.
I guess the agnostics can visualize the Singularity, and the atheists can play pinochle.
Everybody's happy.
