As of the 2017 census, the Lemovician census is 2,502,577 people, which although is the highest since [[Lemovicia]] gained its independence from [[Narozalica]] in 1979, is still lower than its pre-independence population of 3,257,447 in 1977.
As of the 2017 census, there were 1,014,866 people living in areas controlled by the Lemovician government, or an increase of 16,168 people compared to the 2012 census. The census does not cover the [[West Miersa|West Miersan]]-controlled [[Voivodeships of West Miersa|voivodeship]] of [[Malomiersa]], which despite Lemovicia's claim over the area, has not been controlled since the [[Lemovician War]] against West Miersa.

Since Lemovicia's independence in 1979, it has one official language, the {{wp|Basque language|Lemovician language}}. However, it recognises three minority languages under the [[Constitution of Lemovicia]]: {{wp|Polish language|Miersan}}, {{wp|Hungarian language|Savader}}, and {{wp|Montenegrin language|Slirnian}}, and allows government services to be provided in these languages where there is a sizable population of Miersans, Savaders, or Slirnians.

[[File:Densus_(Grigore_Roibu).jpg|150px|thumb|right|Rural Episimialist church, 2014]]
As of the 2017 census, around 96% of the population, or 2,402,474 people, are adherents to {{wp|Christianity|Sotirianity}}.


The largest sect is the [[Episemialist Church]], with 71% of the population, or 1,776,830 people, adhering to the Episimialist Church, with most [[Lemovician people|Lemovicians]] and {{wp|Romanian people|Amathians}} adhering to the Episemialist [[Metropolitanate of All Lemovicia]]. Until 1992, the High Episimialist Church was the official religion of Lemovicia, with practice of non-Episimialist religions heavily restricted.
As of the 2017 census, around 63% of the population, or 639,366 people, are adherents to [[Sotirianity]], while around 35% of the population, or 355,203 people, are {{wp|irreligious}}, and two percent of the population, or 20,297 people, follow other religions.
 
The largest sect of Sotirianity practiced in Lemovicia is the [[Episemialist Church]], with 629,217 adherents, making up around 62% of the Lemovician population. While historically, the [[Miersan Episemialist Church]] served as the church of present-day Lemovicia, since Lemovicia's independence, the Lemovician government has cracked down on the Miersan Episemialist Church in favor of the [[Lemovician Episemialist Church]], which uses the {{wp|Byzantine rite|Amathian rite}}, but uses {{wp|Basque language|Lemovician}} as a liturgical language instead of {{wp|Polish language|Miersan}} and {{wp|Old Church Slavonic|Old Church Marolevic}}.


The next largest sect of Sotirianity is the [[Solarian Catholic Church]], with 23% of Lemovicia's population, or 575,593 people, adhering to the Solarian Catholic faith, with virtually all of them being ethnic {{wp|Polish people|Miersans}}.

Finally, the remainder of the Sotirian population adhere to other sects of Sotirianity, primarily {{wp|Bogomilism}}, and {{wp|Protestantism|Amendist}} sects.
Since independence, the number of {{wp|irreligious}} people have grown, in part due to official policies encouraging {{wp|state atheism}}. As of the 2017 census, around 35% of the population, or 355,203 people identify themselves as being irreligious, which the census defines as being either {{wp|agnostic}} or {{wp|atheist}}.


The remaining four percent of the national population, or 100,103 people, are split roughly evenly, with 50,055 being {{wp|irreligious}}, and 50,048 people following other religions, primarily {{wp|neo-paganism}}.
Finally, among the remaining 2% of the population who follow other religions, most of them follow {{wp|Basque mythology|Lemovician neopaganism}}, with a sizable minority of {{wp|Slavic neopaganism|Marolevic neopagans}}.

However, it recognises three minority languages under the Constitution of Lemovicia: Miersan, Savader, and Slirnian, and allows government services to be provided in these languages where there is a sizable population of Miersans, Savaders, or Slirnians.

As of 2017, 618,559 people, or around 61% of the population, speak Lemovician as a first language, mostly ethnic Lemovicians and among younger generations. Miersan is the first language of around 37% of the population, or 375,500 people, mostly by ethnic Lemovicians born prior to 1979, or by the Miersan community.

Rural Episimialist church, 2014

As of the 2017 census, around 63% of the population, or 639,366 people, are adherents to Sotirianity, while around 35% of the population, or 355,203 people, are irreligious, and two percent of the population, or 20,297 people, follow other religions.

The largest sect of Sotirianity practiced in Lemovicia is the Episemialist Church, with 629,217 adherents, making up around 62% of the Lemovician population. While historically, the Miersan Episemialist Church served as the church of present-day Lemovicia, since Lemovicia's independence, the Lemovician government has cracked down on the Miersan Episemialist Church in favor of the Lemovician Episemialist Church, which uses the Amathian rite, but uses Lemovician as a liturgical language instead of Miersan and Old Church Marolevic.

Other prominent sects of Sotirianity practiced in Lemovicia include Catholicism, practiced by 3,383 people, or 0.3% of the population, and Witterism, practiced by 2,167 people, or 0.2% of the population, with a whole slew of other sects making up the remaining Sotirian population, or 4,599 people.

Since independence, the number of irreligious people have grown, in part due to official policies encouraging state atheism. As of the 2017 census, around 35% of the population, or 355,203 people identify themselves as being irreligious, which the census defines as being either agnostic or atheist.

Finally, among the remaining 2% of the population who follow other religions, most of them follow Lemovician neopaganism, with a sizable minority of Marolevic neopagans.
