> I definitely see a lot less of "TDD as religion", where all code is written in TDD In my experience it helps to drive a new technique or paradigm to it's extreme for a while (for example by employing it religiously in a pet project). After that you can look back and see where a sensible boundary lies for applying said technique. And often it allows to grasp the true essense whereas otherwise (trying it just a little bit in your current job project) doesn't allow it to bear it's fruits and it will be quickly forgotten or turn into a anti pattern.
