As a non religious person, there's one thing I don't get in the whole to TDD or not to TDD debate that's ongoing now.
Does it matter if "TDD says this or says that"? Aren't these methodologies more of 'suggestions' for us to adopt as it fits our needs, while trimming the stuff that doesn't?
Once you adhere to a methodology religiously you lose the flexibility and pragmatism that methodology intended to give you. It just becomes systematic Dogma following of a rule book, like any religion.
