I'm sure most are, but not all. I've heard more than one person speaking of it as a Christian ritual (not just Jewish or Islamic).

I have never heard this except anecdotally on the nets and especially since it is directly contradictory to Christian Doctrine which quite clearly states no one cares anymore.

Unfortunately, it’s been such a common false argument that there have been numerous books and websites devoted specifically towards educating Christian parents of the spiritual merits (or lack thereof) of circumcision.

Circumcision-Christianity
Christian Parent
Christians and infant circumcision
Catholics Against Circumcision

A simple search on Yahoo Answers will reveal just how often and how many Christians are still confused on this issue.

think most people simply circumcise still because there was a cultural point in time when it was the secular norm.

I think people in this current climate forget how routine circumcision became when a baby boy was born. Insurance paid for it and doctors rarely cheered the notion of not doing it and especially since it was another fee.

Might be the first thing you’ve ever said that I actually agree with. The only exception I’d take on this issue is that things haven’t really changed much in the US. Infant circumcision is still covered by healthcare in most states, and doctors will push it or not often depending on how popular it is in their state. It’s much more common for a doctor in Michigan (which has a higher rate of circumcision than nationwide) to promote it than a doctor in say California (where circumcision is much lower than national average).
