Maybe not anymore (at least in the west), but the bible does have that stuff in it too.

These practices wouldn't have been observed by Christians, except perhaps by early Jewish converts.

Wouldn't because they are in Old Testament? Like the famous http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Exodus-22-18/ which was also "not" observed by Christians:

Yeah well, welcome to the early modern period. The Catholic Church from the beginning had outlawed the persecution of witches and condemned belief in their power as superstition. But people will still do crazy shit.

Yup. That's why old testament practices like male genital mutilation are no longer practiced by Christians today.
