if two people are eating matzoh, one because it tastes yummy and one cuz its the night of the year when its an asseh, which one is praiseworthy? not the guy whos movement placed values outside of judaism before it. The torah is what allows us to be called a nation;a mechalel shabbos has a din of a goy. one who eats latkes on chanukah and cheesecake on shavuos and drives on shabbos isnt considered jewish. treif love of land, and placing personal values cloaked in frum disguises, and presenting them as torah-true hashkafos, as much as you wish it would, doesnt make the idea right. granted, we are at a point in history (or past it) where the chazon ish said that maybe the Chasam Sofer could come up with the eitzah to get out of it, but the idea is kochi bi’otzem yodi;its treif.
