The National Secular Society (NSS) is a British non-governmental organisation that advocates separation of church and state. The NSS is the parent organisation of the Secular Medical Forum.
The NSS has taken a position in opposition to non-therapeutic (ritual) circumcision of male children.[1]

Over the last decade it has disciplined 39 doctors for ritual (non-therapeutic) circumcision issues. The Medical Protection Society warned circumcision carries "considerable risks and complications”.[2]
