Which religion has died by not staying current with socio-cultural norms? Most dead religions I know of have died because its followers were exterminated or forcefully converted.
Roman polytheistic religion started dying in the first century BCE. Augustus tried to prop it up, But new religions were becoming popular and displacing the official cults. Sort of like Christianity is beginning to sag badly in Europe, and is beginning to droop in America. Christianity seems to be in serious trouble in Jolly Old England.
