Yeah, I don't think a single 'measure' which places everyone on a single dimension running from god-is-the-realest to god-is-too-silly-for-words is very useful. A better use is to try to carve up the universe of god believers and disbelievers categorically. I don't think it really does that very well. It is unfortunate that it can be taken as reducing to one number whose bigness or smallness tells you everything there is to know about you on the subject.
