Yes, but even from a religious point of view, the question would be whether the Bible requires it NOW.

A valid point. The circumcision of the Old Testament took away much less of the foreskin and certainly didn't tear the skin away from the glans at all but simply removed the unattached part of the foreskin.

I still think there's a very real question as to why it should be prevalent in the US but not in other Western countries.
