British Liberal Judaism Executive Gives Nod to Intactivists
The Guardian reports,
Rabbi Danny Rich, the chief executive of Liberal Judaism, said the movement considered ethical requirements to be of a higher order than the value of ritual practice.
“Circumcision is an ancient Jewish rite and the majority of our families still support and practise it. Circumcision does not accord Jewish status in even the most traditional interpretations of who is a Jew and thus an uncircumcised Jewish child would be treated exactly the same as a circumcised one in our communities.”

No different ? One is a Jewish boy and the other is a Jewish girl.
However, if you mean a male whose parents did not provide a B’rit Milah by the 8th day, Rabbi Danny is needs to read Torah. Every arel is a mamzer, cut off from his people.
Every arel is a mamzer
No, a Jewish male who is intact is not, in fact, halachically considered a mamzer.
