I'd put myself as a 2 on that scale. As usual, I think education is the weapon of choice, rather than trying to force people to do anything. However any active forms of harm or privilege should be opposed on principle.
I'd think the degree to which you'd oppose religion/theism would have to be proportional to the gravity of the situation. I might be a (1) on something and effectively a (10) on something else. Not that you should kill people merely for having some beliefs, but for what those beliefs imply about their future actions. And in some circumstances, that would warrant a (10).
