Isn't circumcision a Jewish/Christian/Muslim tradition? Not sure if it is widely practiced outside of these 3 religions.

My hypothesis is that because these 3 religions originated in an part of the world where water is scarce, it made sense for hygene issues to remove the foreskin. But today in the US, it makes more sense to just take showers regularly
