Apart from maybe the impregnation of Vala, that is a slight hint towards Jesus, is there any mention in Stargate SG-1 of the modern gods that are known to mankind today, such as the deities behind Christianity, Hinduism, Budism or Islam?
I can only, for certain, account for Ancient Egyptian gods, Norse gods and Slav gods (Svarog).

I'm pretty sure it was deliberately avoided. Marvel does the same thing.

@OrangeDog While the name we know is Roman, Camulus was actually a Celtic god.

@OrangeDog Actually, the Abrahamic God has appeared in-person within the Marvel universe, and I think that some Hindu deities have shown up too.

For a very good In Universe reason.... most of those religions weren't (AFAIK) established until after the Goa'uld had left Earth in 3000BC.
The episode Mobius established that SG1 helped oust the Goa'uld from Earth by travelling in time to 3000BC using a Puddle Jumper.
In addition, the religions described (he says carefully) would not fit the Goa'u'd methodology. Teal'c says...
I know of no Goa’uld capable of showing the necessary compassion or benevolence that I have read of in your Bible.
However, as has been pointed out in comments various religions that came into existence after the removal of the Egyptian stargate are referenced, including Hinduism, Shinto and, by implication Christianity.
Whether the Goa'uld were the inspiration for these "gods" or just assumed their names is unclear though.
For instance: Christianity
The medieval Christian beliefs of the humans means that their ancestors must have been taken from Earth after the first council of Nicaea in AD 325 that established the said belief system and likely after the fall of the Roman empire and into the Dark Ages given their belief in demons, which makes it highly likely they were the last group of humans to leave Earth until the rediscovery of the Stargate and Dr. Ernest Littlefield's 1945 trip though the gate and the last group of humans ever to be taken off-world as Goa'uld slaves. Since this puts their departure well beyond the known date of the rebellion against the Goa'uld, especially after the alternate SG-1's involvement in "Moebius, Part 2", they were likely removed via ships...or via the second Stargate in Antarctica as it was stated the Goa'uld used it and as evident of the two Jaffa they found frozen there.

Yet there are Goa'uld impersonating deities that are more recent than 3000BC. The historical Yu was ~2000BC. Zipacna (Mayan) would also be around then. And there are aliens that aren't Goa'uld that also impersonate deities (the Asgard).

Good edit. However, to be technical, the show's canon asserts that Nirrti and Kali were venerated as Hindu goddesses before the Tauri uprising, which canonically happened ca 3000 BCE (per the Moebius episodes). Some scholars date the formation of Hinduism (or at least its earliest traditions) to as early as 3900 BCE, so Hinduism possibly pre-dates the uprising and therefore these Goa'uld would have been directly involved in its formation instead of taking their deities' names after the fact.

Yes: Satan (Christianity) and Nirrti (Hinduism)
In season 3 episode Demons they encounter a medieval Catholic society.
Carter: The UAV photos were right, there it is. Looks like a church.
O'Neill: And that would mean what?
Teal'c: That it is most likely Christians reside here, O'Neill. [...]
Daniel: Which means they probably had to have been taken from somewhere in medieval Europe through the Antarctic gate.
At first, they think the Goa'uld is playing the Abrahamic God
Daniel: Well, if these people were already Christians when they were taken from Earth, that suggests this Goa'uld is…is playing…
O'Neill: God? As in God God? It's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?
Teal'c: I know of no Goa'uld capable of showing the necessary compassion or benevolence that I have read of in your Bible.
The people feared a demon (Unas) who was a servant of the devil (Sokar).
Unas (in a distorted, Goa'uld-like voice): The time of Sacrifice is at hand. My lord Satan calls for five wretched souls to reclaim as his.
Recurring character Nirrti was also the Hindu goddess of 'deathly hidden realms and sorrows'.

Good find! I've added some quotes from the episode to support this, and changed the header a bit. I hope that's okay. Feel free to edit or undo my changes if you don't like them.

Yes, several made appearances on the show:
- Hindu goddesses Nirrti and Kali
Shinto goddess Amaterasu
Olokun, a figure in the religion of the Yoruba
There are also numerous Hindu deities mentioned in canon, including Shiva, Indra, and Vritra.

Does Satan count as a "modern god"?
If so, then there's Sokar.

Yeah I figured he's close enough but I think there's a counterpart in most religions.

He is explicitly impersonating the Christian Devil (although not on Earth).

This description of the historical Yu (pright moral character.) doesn't really match the Goa'uld. Isn#t it more likely that he was named after the Goa'uld? But...perhps the writers messed up. ☺

Good edit. However, to be technical, the show's canon asserts that Nirrti and Kali were venerated as Hindu goddesses before the Tauri uprising, which canonically happened ca 3000 BCE (per the Moebius episodes). Some scholars date the formation of Hinduism (or at least its earliest traditions) to as early as 3900 BCE, so Hinduism possibly pre-dates the uprising and therefore these Goa'uld would have been directly involved in its formation instead of taking their deities' names after the fact.

Yes: Satan (Christianity) and Nirrti (Hinduism)
In season 3 episode Demons they encounter a medieval Catholic society.
Carter: The UAV photos were right, there it is. Looks like a church.
O'Neill: And that would mean what?
Teal'c: That it is most likely Christians reside here, O'Neill. [...]
Daniel: Which means they probably had to have been taken from somewhere in medieval Europe through the Antarctic gate.
At first, they think the Goa'uld is playing the Abrahamic God
Daniel: Well, if these people were already Christians when they were taken from Earth, that suggests this Goa'uld is…is playing…
O'Neill: God? As in God God? It's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?
Teal'c: I know of no Goa'uld capable of showing the necessary compassion or benevolence that I have read of in your Bible.
The people feared a demon (Unas) who was a servant of the devil (Sokar).
Unas (in a distorted, Goa'uld-like voice): The time of Sacrifice is at hand. My lord Satan calls for five wretched souls to reclaim as his.
Recurring character Nirrti was also the Hindu goddess of 'deathly hidden realms and sorrows'.

Good find! I've added some quotes from the episode to support this, and changed the header a bit. I hope that's okay. Feel free to edit or undo my changes if you don't like them.

Does Satan count as a "modern god"?
If so, then there's Sokar.

@OrangeDog While the name we know is Roman, Camulus was actually a Celtic god.

@OrangeDog Actually, the Abrahamic God has appeared in-person within the Marvel universe, and I think that some Hindu deities have shown up too.
