To circumcise or not to circumcise?

[Jenny A]

Actually adults can get anesthesia for it while babies cannot.

That's actually a pretty good point.

Still, this strong feeling expressed by my fellow atheists makes me wonder if it's more the religious nature of most circumcisions that makes atheists feel so strongly against it.

Not in my case. I'm if anything less bothered by Jewish circumcision because there is at least some reason for it. I think it looks better is not a reason worth discussing. I'm against binding feet too (not that it's done anymore), and that has no religious purpose.
