For the Greek gods, the Roman emperors forced all the temples to close, the popes ordered the books to be burned, and eventually the traditions just weren’t passed on.

Charlemagne cut down the sacred trees and forced the Saxons to convert, and basically the same thing occurred.

The Northern Crusades crushed the old Baltic religions.
