As far as this last point goes I do have some albums from the 70s from some Scientologists, I think it might be a Chick Corea vinyl that actually has a blurb about the 'Church of Scientology' on the back. I don't ever recall any mention of the CoS on any Beck disc so I'm thinking he kept his personal and professional sides separate.

This however...

However, when you picture him writing that after being baptized, and believing he can ascend to heaven with his devotion it absolutely loses it's value to me. I'm admittedly prejudiced in that respect.

If you want to limit yourself based on your perceptions of the private lives and beliefs of others that's very much your own prerogative but do recognize you're being a bit more than just ignorant with your stance.
