The question is interesting and important—and practically impossible for any conceivable scale or chart, given the sheer number of deities that are and have been proposed. The scale would have to somehow account for the literally hundreds upon hundreds of readily identifiable ones, each with its own moral dimension to consider and evaluate. Compounding this are the sheer number of ethical theories that people hold; the scale would have to somehow account for all of these. To pull off a scale or chart that manages to accomplish all this?
Heh, I think it is difficult enough just trying to account for the various iterations of theism, atheism, and apatheism!
