My latest question to any potential date is "On a scale of 0-10, how religious do you think you are? 0 being an unapologetic atheist and 10 being the Taliban."
What's your cut-off before you question wanting to invest more time in that person? I mean, as an atheist, I have a seriously difficult time respecting anyone that believes their imaginary friend created the Earth and somehow cares about everyone on it.

I’m always trying to find reasons to accept people instead of reasons to exclude them.

I guess I could accept a woman who was a 5 or less, as long as she expressed the attitude that she was tolerant and independent about doing her church and religion on her time and not on our time together. Of course, if her church was Unitarian, we would go together and share a lot of things in common.

I feel like Michelle Obama, for example, is probably around a 3 and yet I would spend time with someone like her. That kind of person may believe in some kind of God, but also understands science. Politics is more important than religion to me; someone who acts and thinks the way I do and yet goes to church once a week will probably get a pass on that.

0 and i think i could handle anyone up to 5 on that scale. i have religious friends and family so i can handle certain common stuff that's said, i feel like.

I don’t see why this should even be a question. If a person is a good person and you get along, have things is common, are fond of each other and give each other respect why would religion be a problem? We all have some peculiar things we believe in or do, nobody is perfect.
