Neither.
It's not a state church; no government has given special recognition as a state church.
While the Amish qualify as a sect, in that there are established doctrines and rituals, it is not a cult. It's not a new, faddish religion with obsessive adherents. It is, instead, several centuries old. and it is based on belief in The Bible as literally true, something many fundamentalist churches claim to do, although the Amish actually mean it. The Amish do not obsess on their religion, either. They tend to follow the ordnung because it was how they grew up, and do not hesitate to modify the ordnung when appropriate. When the Amish move to an area where there is no local Amish community, they tend to attend Methodist churches, which is another non-obsessive peace church, albeit a mainline one.
