My understanding is that Rutherford was an Atheist before realizing that he could make good money as cult leader.

If repelling indulgent corruption and ignorance identifies apostasy, than bravo for apostasy.
Since Rutherford knew well of the wealth of the WTS. that Russell created and left behind, this very well instigated
his personal move to take over the organization realizing the attainable power and wealth which the WTS. had.
its unfortunate that so many people needlessly died over one man's personal endeavorer for this power and wealth.
