It is a Semitic precept and Americans do it because of Christianity. The only reason circumcision is remotely common in the West at all is because of Christian lore giving it huge importance, even though it is not mandatory.
Not that it would be totally out of character for them or anything, but I haven't really seen any of them say that. I guess I would actually agree in the sense that the Israelites were simply proto-Christians, but e-pagans won't use that argument because that would imply Judaism (in the modern sense) doesn't predate Christianity.
Also for the record ritual mutilation is very much a part of paganism and biblical circumcision (just the redundant tip of skin) is arguably the least harmful way to permanently remove a body part.
Frankly if you're not eviscerating yourself daily as a blood offering to your god, why call yourself a pagan? Your venerable ancestors would have done it.

It doesn't matter what kind of atheist you are, it's just hard to see the point of your reply unless it is a defense of pagan brutality.

The only purpose of human sacrifice ever was population regulation. It’s called responsibility. Something Abrahamists abdicate in return for a promise by a israeli demon. Same false promise that Marxists, postmodernists, and woke lunatics took.

All of my ancestors were European so, no, they were not offering human sacrifices to the Gods.

Really? You claim to know about the ritual practices of every single tribe the last few thousand years from Lisbon to Riga? Roman sources like Tacitus attest to the practice among Germans.
"neo"pagan here, whatever the frick that means. I don't associate circumcision with christianity, and I don't think most anons on this site, irrespective of religion, do either. It's associated most with americans, because practically every male in america is circumcised.
My mom had me and my brother circumcised because her cousin, who's like a brain surgeon or something, told her that foreskins are dirty and cause infections.
I am atheist and I am circumcised

There are pagan African tribes that practice circumcision without ever having contacted Semites
Would Afroasiatic make you happier?
Nice deflection homosexual.
Ok.
Wrong, they are all descendants of Abraham. His descendants are more numerous than the sand of the seashore or the stars in the sky.
That verse is about Christians (who come from every tongue, tribe, people and nation).
Herodotus identified a tribe as Semitic purely because of their practice of circumcision. Like always, he ended up being right.

Neopagan understanding of Christianity is thoroughly American.
