Why was and is it so important to so many?
Reading 1 Corinthians 7, verses 17-24, Paul regards it as unimportant. Far more important is obedience to God. He was speaking sense.
I always regard maiming the body in any way as horrible. Being of an older generation I personally dislike piercings, tatoos and the like as repulsive and rarely enhancing to anyone's looks! That is another subject.
But circumcision is fascinating, it is done on a part of the body hardly anyone will ever see. How barbaric it is to do it to babies, inflict pain on them - unless for sound health reasons. Awful for grown boys or men.
However, the symbolism of it is very important to Jews and Muslims. Why?

A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew
God gave a secret, and denied it me?
Well, well—what matters it? Believe that, too!”
