Avram: I like to take it further than that. According to some Rishonim (Rashi and several Ba’alei Hatosafos) we are all Apikorsim because we believe that HKBH doesn’t have a body (See the Rash on Chavivin Adam Shenivra B’tzelem if I recall correctly). According to many Rishonim (Rav Saadiah, the Rambam, and everyone who followed their line) we would all be Apikorsim if we believed that HKBH does have a body. We manage to get through that while still being fine Jews. So why should we worry about what everyone says on everything else. We Pasken like our Mesorah and some other people have Kulos and some have Chumros. That doesn’t make anyone any better or worse than anyone else. It just means they Pasken differently.
