There's a joke to be made about this but I feel like I'd overstep some boundaries rule

aka non consented circumcision is a human rights violations rule
Are you aware the majority of Americans are not jewish but were subjected to genital mutilation after birth? It is not a religious thing here primarily, it's a practice that was started by a prude named Kellog to explicitly make it more difficult to masturbate and because it is "cleaner," which is a dubious claim at best.
yeah outside religion I don't know why Kellogg did that. im talking about the type used for religious purposes.
He did it to sexually stunt America in the name of Christianity and his warped morality. I would say that if a religion mandates you do something barbaric, then that practice should still be outlawed. I believe in a secular state where the rules of society and the greater good take precedence over myopic religious practices.
Similarly how the right to free speech does to let you go around making threats etc., the freedom of religion must not allow for crimes -- which I consider infant genital mutilation to be.
