I'd wager the higher up you go, the less pure their motives behind their choice of path.
Since the dawn of organized religion - not talking about cavemen praying to a shiny object - it's always been about power.
Why do you think Christianity in particular was so against people in the olden days being promiscuous and beat marriage and monogamy into society's brain? Pretty simple, they believed more marriages = more kids growing up in their religion, thus increasing it's power.
Probably a topic I could go on all day about, but time to head out for dinner, so I'll just leave with a famous catchphrase:
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Oh, and:
The only difference between a cult and a religion is the number of members.
