Hey, Miki.
I accidentally posted the question online before I could explain it…
Among the different perceptions of what Judaism is, do you think there is one Judaism that is more “correct” than others? And if so, what is the criterion for that “Jewish” authenticity?
Is this an important question to you at all?
I ask because I myself believe that the question of authenticity is indeed important (although perhaps not critical) and also because it is an important social question, at least among part of the public I come from (a secular public). Quite a few secular people “agonize” over this issue.
 
Thank you and have a wonderful day.

First, I don’t know why you identify authenticity with truthfulness.
To the point of the question, there is a more correct Judaism in my opinion, and that is Halacha Judaism. It is not only more correct but it is the only one that exists. Secular Judaism is an oxymoron. Reform Judaism is secular Judaism. See here:

על זהות יהודית בזמננו ובכלל


See also column 130.
Within Halacha Judaism, I see advantages and disadvantages for all kinds of streams and I see no point in giving them grades.
