The Amish religion is primarily pacifist, with a strong emphasis on repentance and the avoidance of conflict. For religious reasons, the Amish refuse to serve in the military or believe in the death penalty. The Amish are pacifists who believe they are following Jesus’ command to love those who hate them. The Amish despise all forms of violence.

Toys with no faces are frequently given to young Amish children. Pride and vanity are discouraged by the emotionless, blank faces.
