"Infant circumcision is something a secular society would never allow if it weren't associated with religious traditions. … Banning circumcision raises church-state issues, to be sure, as it forces society into … declaring certain sacred practices illegal.

Right? RIGHT?
Jews have circumcised for several thousand years, I believe Muslims do as well.
Some early Christians did, some didn't; however, it's only been in the last hundred years or so that Christians began circumcising and this is done for HYGIENIC rather than religious reasons. I know that the Catholic Church is neutral on the topic, some Protestant denominations may be against it (though I'm not sure), but I am not aware of a single Protestant denomination that mandates it.
