It is a part of our covenant with HaShem, the creator.

They copied the custom from the ancient Egyptians Who used it as a way of differentiating themselves from the lower class plebs. Religion can be used and has been throughout society to convince people to abuse them selves and each other. Jewish circumcision is easier to maintain because it is done to children and very rarely to adults.
