By the time a man makes the decision to have it done, it's more painful. Also, parents are responsible for their children's body and well being until they are of legal age.
Trust me, if circumcision didn't have religious roots, most of those opposing it now would be labeling Iceland something similiar to anti-vaxxers.
I got these charts from the CDC. It seems to me from these numbers, that making any assumption about a person’s background based on whether or not they are circumcised, would be a foolish endeavor.
....in any region.
Those are old. 2019 is a different story.
The big thing here is money. Doctors have been upset that Medicaid has stopped covering them. They're now on a campaign to get them covered. Not covered, and people stopped getting them. Doctors lose money.
I live in a state where about 14% get circumcised now. Most people I know didn't do it unless they did it for religious reasons.
So I do make that assumption but that's just me. Some people will and some people won't. I had a friend who contemplated it like plastic surgery, so her son would look like his father. lol, she also has a boob job so go figure. To each their own when it comes to an adult.
If I have a child one day I will probably leave it up to them as an adult. That way I'm not doing anything for them they regret having. I think that's best.
In regards to saving men from disease, I think that argument would work with any body part, and shouldn't be an excuse for pre-emptive surgical procedure.

How is it any more painful? I'm sure they numb it, I mean guys get tubal ligation when they're done having kids. It probably only takes 5 mins. At least they're not wearing a diaper full of pee and poop anymore. That has to be more painful, peeing on it like that.

it's very interesting that there's so much regional variation.

Sounds about right.
yep, often even if that someone is only 4-5 years old.
