Yes, and I don't see the big deal either way.
In fact, circumcision was pretty damn popular until the Greeks came around and decided that the penis was too perfect to be altered.

Nope, in my country only Jew get circumsized, never heard of a Christian doing it. Anyway, I'm atheist born of atheist parents, so I wouldn't have gotten it anyway, but it seems strange the difference between countries

Circumcision varies among people, but it's considered very taboo in Catholic cultures. The U.S., for a long time, has been predominantly Protestant. And since Protestants and Catholic were mortal enemies (maybe they still are!), they tried to do the opposite of each other. As circumcision became widespread among Protestants, and the increasing Jewish population around World War I, circumcision became almost more of an American value than a religious value. But again, it varies a lot among different people.
