You will find that there are many, many of these in India, a special caste in fact. Yes, Chinese used to. I don't know about Europeans, but Americans don't generally. Africans, particularly from the north have done this as a way of guaranteeing that the "men" do not partake of the pleasures of their harems.

Religion....?
Some American sex offenders make the choice to be chemically castrated. Other than that, no.
*Ancient* Chinese practiced castration, as did the Sumerians, Indians, Greeks, Romans, and some early Christian sects.
The castrati were eunuchs castrated before puberty so their voices wouldn't change, and they were valued for their soprano voices. This practice stopped in the 19th century.

Up until quite recently the Catholic church did castration so that their choir boys could have that sweet girly voice for longer.

not lately, they don't. Until about 1700 ad, arabs also had slaves that they castrated in order to let them work in the harems

Actually they don't, consider there are more Chinese than anyone else . . . . wouldn't work too well if they were all eunuchs, would it?
