Galatians 5:6 says "in Christ Jesus, circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything", but Romans 2:25 shows that the "In Christ Jesus" severely limits the context. Circumcision has great value, whether it refers to being a Jew or being physically circumcised according to the commandment, but circumcision itself won't gain you any favor with God. That is dependent on your faith and the obedience that faith produces.

We are so eager to keep the entire law to the best of our abilities and wants that we sometimes throw out parts of the Torah based on the New Testament interpretations of the laws.
Your quote of Romans 2:25 says it best: "For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision."
Circumcision under the law to this day still has the same value as in Biblical times. Even the New Testament writers don't say otherwise.
What it does mean is that being circumcised doesn't open any special doors if you don't keep the law.
