A guest  poster Reform jew  on Avodah about 10+ years ago stated that while
Reform is certainly challengd by Shemiras Shabbos etc. that AZ mamash is
MORE likley in the Orthodox community

I used to debate people about this;
Reform accept kabals Ol Malchus Shamayim but reject Ol Mitzvos
Orthodox accept both
But nowadays there seem to be many types of Jews who accept ol Mitzvos but
have chas vshalom rejected Monotheism...

Examples: Praying to avos at kever Avos
Praying to malachim
etc.

I take no joy in saying this stuff [tof'sei Torah lo yeda'uni]
