WEll... here's another reason religion comes in. The UN with strong voting blocks in the muslim community, not to mention the power of the US has a HUGE buy in for keeping male circumcision "ok".

And if you can find non-religious reasons to justify it -- well how much better would that be. One of the French authors I read, a physician who is strongly critical of the UN and WHO's views, has said publicly that he thinks this entire "AIDS" connection is about justifying the practice of male circumcision. I personally, not being a physician or an advoisor to the UN, would not be surprized that this is an underlying factor.
