      In the US circumcision was the norm for the longest time. Thank John Harvey Kellogg for that. I don’t think it’s recommended anymore.

      But the only religion that holds to this story of Abraham, and circumsises is Judaism.

      Muslims reject the Torah, or the Old Testament, and Christians are under no obligation to circumcise so this only applies to Jews.

      And Americans do it because they are weird for cultural reasons.
