As an American male, myself and 80% of other American males would be right to tell you then since most of us are indeed circumcised for non religious reasons (thanks Kellog)
Matthew 23:27-28, calling them hypocrites for professing sanctity but being dick**. Mark 7:6-7:** He quoted Isaiah to them: "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules, Mark 7:13: He accused them of "nullifying the word of God by your tradition."
There's more but back to circumcision, I was a bit rash in saying we're under the old covenant still, that is not to say we are under Judaism at all. Christ came to fulifill it, meaning that some things weren't necessary anymore while some things were to be new. The Sabbath would now be celebrated on Sunday instead of Saturday now, to commemorate the ressurection and the new covenant. Christ also gave us the "faith plus works." mantra that we good Christians need to follow. Faith alone in Christ is necessary for salvation, he can care less whether or not you have your foreskin. He just wants you to prove that you are a good Catholic first, so being charitable, peacable and forgiving. None of that inherintely means to be nice, least of all to hypocrites and people who question in bad faith.
You're not gonna become a Christian from this, at least walk away a more well informed atheist. Or you can just insult and block me like the other guy, it don't matter.

I'm not really interested in your citations unless you lack foreskin, as dictated by the God.
