===Religious===
The circumcision of newborn boys is seen as a [[Abrahamic covenant| divine commandment ]] in the Jewish faith. Though absent in the Koran, male circumcision is considered a religious requirement in Islam, and it is performed on male children of varying ages. Converts to these faiths may also choose to undergo circumcision, but it is not always required.
