He was born in a British colony long before circumcision would have been anything other than a religious rite.
Christianity was around before Britain so it would still be likely.
Christian circumcision wasn’t a thing back then, that didn’t start until the Kellog’s company sold the idea to christians alongside bland cereal to stop children from masturbating.
