I think the difference is that it is performed in the US even without religious background.

Usually this happens because the parents would be Jewish or Muslim.

IIRC in America it was done as a supposed way to curb masterbation, and as time went on it instead stuck because nobody ever questioned it much.

People today still try to defend it with alleged hygiene and health benifits, mainly because people rarely take "your penis has somthing wrong with it" very well regardless of how kindly you phrase it.

If you look at the map the predominantly Christian regions are by far at the bottom of the list with the exception of the US and Australia.

K? They're not zero and I know my dick is the way it is because of Christianity.
