I imagine you’ve probably never heard of it, but there a rarely learned Perek in Sanhedrin called “Chelek” which lists all different types of Jews who are apikorosim as per the teachings of those Rabbis. This is also, you might be surprised to hear, the exact mishna where the Rambam explains the foundational principle that anyone who even doubts the Divine origin of the oral laws as taught in the Mishnah, Jerusalem Talmud, Babylonian Talmud, and Midrash is an…. APIKORUS(!).

You may also be shocked to learn that no respected Torah authority disagrees with this point, even the Raaved.
So, your guestimate of ‘approximately 0’ should be corrected, preferably after you turn away from whatever strange religion you are currently follow and learn some Torah.
