  As I see it, and this ismy opinion only, there is only one form of Judaism
and then there are Jews who practice their own religions, which they call
Judaism.
  Judaism means the acceptance of all the mitzvot and the acceptance of the
Rabbinic explainiations. Anyone who does not accept these is a Jew but
does not practice Judaism.
  The conservative and reform and other branches of "Judaism" are Jews 100%.
But they are not practicing Judaism, but rather, a religion similar to ours.
