You know very well that neither you nor I were there. But the present extensive circumcision came about when rabbis became worried that Jews were "passing" as uncircumcised.
And it's at least worth noting that outside the US Christians don't generally practise circumcision. Not even in Canada, now -- and that's changed greatly in the last 30 years.
Interestingly enough, Christians in the US didn't practise circumcision in any general fashion until about a century ago.
