Newborns in several mainstream religions are routinely circumcised as part of their faithSeveral? Judaism is the only one.
Most Muslims practice circumcision but only rarely on newborns.
It's completely optional for Christians and has no religious significance for them.
Hindus and Buddhists don't practice it. Nor do Mormons.

I was circumcised as a newborn back in the day when every boy was. I have had no complications. Plus I never need to clean schmegma daily. I don't have to worry about infections. I don't have to worry about stretching irritation.
