To blaspheme is to say things which are not permitted by your religion.

If a Christian say: "Jesus Christ was not the Son of God, he is just a person", this is a blasphemy.

But a Christian can say: "Allah is not god, he is just a fictional character".

A Christian can also say : "Nyaminyami is not god, he is just made up".

If a Muslim say: "Allah is not God, he is just a fictional character", this is a blasphemy.

But a Muslim can say:" Jesus Christ was not the Son of God, he is just a person".

A Muslim can also say : "Nyaminyami is not god, he is just made up".

If a follower of Nyaminyami say: "Nyaminyami is not God, he is just made up", this is a blasphemy.

But a follower of Nyaminyami can say: "Allah is not god, he is just a fictional character".

A follower of Nyaminyami can also say : "Jesus Christ is not the son of god, he is just made up".

Did Alexander the Great blaspheme god?

It depends what you mean by blaspheme and which god you are talking about. Alexander gave all the gods their due respect. Blasphemy used to mean 'cursing a god with the god's name' - which is why in English we had such weird things as Jeez, Lawdy, Marry, Gawd, Zwounds (god's wounds), Crikey etc emerge - it used to carry the death penalty. Alexander is not recorded as showing disrespect to any god.
