Circumcision in the United States isn't particularly viewed as a religious practice. In fact I was rather amazed to find out how many view the practice through that lens. In the United States it is mainly performed as a part of preventative medicine. Circumcision prevents infection, impotence, and also reduces the chance of contracting venereal disease. Further more it seems to be the preference of women.
Americans just want their children to be healthy, and the fact that it makes their child more potent to the opposite sex is a added benefit. Usually its just part of the neonatal care. The doctor usually explains the health benefits, and for most parents that is enough reason to do it, and parents have a right to practice preventive care. Besides it prevents the possible need for surgery later in life.
For Americans it is just a matter of practicality, and frankly I find it a oddity to actually talk to someone that isn't circumcised. Out of the three people I know that had it later in life all have cursed their parents. One had to have the procedure, because the foreskin prevented erection, and the other two had it due to their wives harping about it. I asked no further, but it is quite funny to see them walking around after the procedure.
I would never do that to any son I had. Better to chop it off in the infirmary. No fuss, No muss, No long term regrets. Never met anyone that was circumcised as a child pining over a foreskin. Just a part that causes more problems then it is worth.
