He was skeptical of the organization itself, and felt that it fostered an environment that did not accept critical discussion.[92] His subsequent critical writings about the church and his review of Inside Scientology by Robert Kaufman led to a battle of letters between Burroughs and Scientology supporters in the pages of Rolling Stone magazine.

Nadel noted that the musician was drawn to Scientology as a way to deal with his depression.[102] The Complete Guide to the Music of Leonard Cohen comments that Cohen's question, "Did you ever go clear?", in the song "Famous Blue Raincoat", is a reference to the Scientology state of "Clear".[101] A 1997 article in The Daily Telegraph characterized Cohen as "a former Scientologist".[103] In a 2004 article, the National Post noted that there was a period of time where "Scientologists claimed him as their own."[104] The Guardian noted that Cohen explored Scientology during the 1990s.[18] In 2009, the St. Petersburg Times identified Cohen among "Former Scientologists".[105] A 2009 article in The Globe and Mail listed Cohen among "Ex-Members" of Scientology.[93]
