Being a mechallel shabbos is worse than someone who carnally violates a woman. Simply compare the punishments between the two. One is a capital offense. And going OTD by definition means becoming a mechallel shabbos. (Ever heard of an OTD who keeps shabbos? If so they wouldn’t be really OTD.) So OTD is much worse.
sheepyaff, I don’t think Hashem needs your Shmiras Shabbos if you cause others to go OTD, thereby being mechallel Shabbos.
I don’t want to be Hashem’s spokesperson, but that’s a thought.
(And just as an aside, men can be violated too R”L. But that’s not the point. )
