The Australian Constitution - Christian?

To this (quoting Rev. Fred Nile):

'Our [Australian] Constitution, which I call the Christian Constitution, commences with the words 'humbly relying upon the blessings of Almighty God'"

a netfriend responded:

'In other words your whole case for disenfranchising Muslims rests on the claim that Muslims don't believe in the same god.

'The constitution merely acknowledges God's blessings. It does not mandate any particular religion. It does not say anything about Christianity, distinct from Judaism, distinct from Islam. And if the constitution somehow granted special privileges to Christians through this preamble, then it would be granting the same privileges to Jews and Muslims because they follow the same God.'
