It depends. I’m 99% certain the Amish would not approve of fingerprinting. But it’s certainly not a widespread belief among the most popular mainstream Christian sects. However some states allow for a religious exemption that is based on personal belief, so one doesn’t need their pastor or priest to agree.
- technothrasher 5y agoHmm, I had no idea one way or the other about the Amish and fingerprints, but you made me curious. Seems it's not so, as in Illinois they worked with the state to avoid getting photographed for their state ID by getting one based on their fingerprints instead. https://will.illinois.edu/news/story/amish-can-apply-for-state-ids-in-2015 https://will.illinois.edu/news/story/amish-can-apply-for-sta...
