But it is not about religion.
If a god can only part his followers from others by checking for circumcision or the "lost leg" i mentioned ?

I thought i had made this clear:
I have nothing against a person who does whatever with his/her own body - for religious or other reasons when he/she can decide him/herself.

A 2-year-old child can't.

Circumcision at the age of 2 is causing pain (later remembering subconsciously or not) without the child having any chance to understand it nor to decide about it. And it is not about removing an appendix, indeed it is a bit senseless nowadays. If you go for cleanliness, if you are afraid as a parent to tell your kid how to wash the body at places "that may not be mentioned", you will probably also fail in other education.
