The practice of Sotirianity in Senria is comparatively small, with roughly 4.2% of the country's population, or 10.87 million people, identifying Sotirianity as their religion in the 2015 census. In spite of composing a comparatively small portion of the Senrian population, Sotirianity has played an important and complicated role in Senrian history and culture since its introduction to the archipelago in the 16th century.
The majority of Senrian Sotirians are either Catholics or Amendists, with smaller Episemialist, Brethren, restorationist, and nondenominational populations composing the remainder. Additionally, many non-Sotirian Senrians practice secularized and commercialized forms of Sotirian holidays.
