"but freedom of religion is a basic human right"
Only until it infringes on someone else's rights and freedoms. At that point, it's violence. That's what circumcision is. If you wish to argue that anything should be allowed for any religion, then we have to accept a world that tolerates rape, human sacrifice and mass suicides, just to name a few religious practices that your argument would allow. But if we had that kind of religious freedom, at least we'd be able to take whatever drugs we all wanted to forget about all the stupidity going on around us in the name of religious freedom. Let's face it, religious freedom is a thinly veiled argument for allowing people to do fucked up shit that would otherwise be unacceptable justifying those actions. Since religion can justify any and all horrible human actions, it's basically an argument for allowing one to do whatever one wants without fear of retribution by appealing to unverifiable nonsense.
