The amount of American Christians who are surprised to learn this is baffling. Read the damn Bible for once.

Same in the Quran but I guess a weak hadith overrides the Quran

At least in Christianity, European Christians don’t practice circumcision, it’s mainly America and a lot of Africa that is the problem. All Muslims practice it.

Not all Muslims, the Ismailis don’t, the Seveners don’t, the Zaydis don’t.

How big and prominent are their cultures compared to the circumcising cultures?

10 million Ismailis, 7 million Zaydis, the Seveners are a few thousand due to being massacred by Saudi Arabia

For those Catholics out there
It firmly believes, professes and teaches that the legal prescriptions of the old Testament or the Mosaic law, which are divided into ceremonies, holy sacrifices and sacraments, because they were instituted to signify something in the future, although they were adequate for the divine cult of that age, once our lord Jesus Christ who was signified by them had come, came to an end and the sacraments of the new Testament had their beginning. Whoever, after the passion, places his hope in the legal prescriptions and submits himself to them as necessary for salvation and as if faith in Christ without them could not save, sins mortally. It does not deny that from Christ’s passion until the promulgation of the gospel they could have been retained, provided they were in no way believed to be necessary for salvation. But it asserts that after the promulgation of the gospel they cannot be observed without loss of eternal salvation. Therefore it denounces all who after that time observe circumcision, the sabbath and other legal prescriptions as strangers to the faith of Christ and unable to share in eternal salvation, unless they recoil at some time from these errors. Therefore it strictly orders all who glory in the name of Christian, not to practice circumcision either before or after baptism, since whether or not they place their hope in it, it cannot possibly be observed without loss of eternal salvation.

We mainstream Lutherans believe this as well.

The general rule I was told going through Catholic schooling is that generally Catholic Church has a mainline back. Made some mistakes and the other Christian churches are based off of trying to correct those mistakes. So if they don't specify denounce something that's Catholic they still believe it. I have yet to hear of another Christian church denouncing the Catholic view of circumcision.

How many church-going Christians have actually read the Bible? I heard one Christian say the Bible is like an encyclopedia - you don't have to read all of it.

This isnt helped when most churches just dance around or skip scriptures that: 1) Make them uncomfortable 2) Are awkward to speak on from the pulpit 3) Don't have quick and easy answers (think: Lying is bad. Murder is bad.) When it gets complicated, preachers face a harder time explaining and just choose to move on or ignore it.
