“As you know the vast majority of non-frum Jews reject the divine authorship of the entirety of the Torah.”

That is not true. There are many, many not-frum Jews who do not question the Divine Authorship of the Torah, and that is not the reason they are not Frum. Many (if not most) not-Frum Jews aren’t Frum either because they are completely ignorant (in America, most not-Frum Jews have no idea what Judaism is about, and many or most do not even know that they are Jewish), or because they didn’t grow up Frum and therefore find it too hard to start keeping everything at once. Many Jews in EY fall in the second category, and many of them do try to keep what they can.

Most not-Frum people whom I know (some of whom didn’t grow up Frum and some who did) believe that Torah is Min HaShamayim, but they find it too difficult to keep, but they try to do what they can. I know someone who stopped using the computer on Shabbos, I know someone else who doesn’t cook on Shabbos, I know kids-at-risk who are really want to be Frum and are working very hard to solve their psychological problems for this reason, etc.
