The Amish are bible-thumping Christians. You've seen the bumper stickers that say "The Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it?" The bible says that one should not "round the face" which means you can't have a clean-shaven face. It says you should not make clothing of two different textiles. And most important, Romans 12:2 says you shouldn't mix with non-believers, because it will weaken your faith.
The folks with the bumper stickers pick and choose which parts of the bible they want to believe, and then use those passages to batter others with. The Amish and other plain folk do not proselytize, and they do not criticize other people for their faiths. They recognize that there are many rooms in the father's home, so they are tolerant of those who may have found another way, but they choose to follow their own faith as a way that they believe is pleasing to their Lord. As a peace church, as a church with a fairly logical and well-defined doctrine, I find theirs to be a church much to be admired - even though my personal beliefs are dissimilar to theirs.
