Also I’m circumcised and it happened to work out well so I have no regrets, but it was done by a doctor and not as some backwards religious ceremony.

Think it grew popular in the U.S. as an anti-masturbation thing. There were a LOT of those. This Kellog man was super into restricting masturbation and made cornflakes because a bland and unexciting meal would aid in preventing that.
To be fair, the colonisers were primarily religious puritans whose views were too extreme for Europe, hence why they sought new lands. It’s almost like a cult.

Personally, I’ll have my newborns arms amputated so it’s easier to clean the armpits
