For what it's worth, I'm a Christian and I agree with you in a lot of points:
1. In the Old Testament circumcision was instituted as a 'brand' of sorts, albeit a private one.
2. I was not circumcised as an infant because my parents saw themselves as Christians, and we have baptism instead of circumcision (a contentious topic amongst Christians).
3. My younger brother was circumcised at 2ish IIRC because he had an awful persistent infection.
4. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better for me to be circumcised because I tend to get super annoying yeast infections.
5. We _all_ feel shame being naked, you're not alone.
6. I totally agree that our infant bodies have dignity and shouldn't be altered/molested arbitrarily. I think this is true for the unborn as well as the born.
