It is interesting that Jews who are disconnected from Judaism, and only participate in Jewish activities a few times a year will probably attend some type of Seder and will mark Yom Kippur in some fashion.
One understanding of Karet is not as a punishment, but an expression of reality. A Jew who does not mark Pessach or Yom Kippur has in effect cut himself off from the Jewish people. Whether he still identifies as Jewish or not, if he does not attend a seder, the odds are that he will not have children or grandchildren who identify as Jewish.

Interesting point.
