Druidism was Gjorka's largest religion for much of Gjorka's history as the state religion of the Kingdoms of Gjorka. Gjorka became a secular state in 1775 following the overthrow of the Third Gjorkan Kingdom in the First Gjorkan Civil War. The end of Druidism's status of state sponsored religion, saw it decline in popularity slowly over time. This decline was initially filled by the rise of Christianity in Gjorka, particularly Protestantism, but eventually was overtaken by a rise of irreligion following the Second Gjorkan Civil War, with the Second Gjorkan Republic being an atheist state. Since 1972, Druidism has seen a dramatic drop from roughly 20% to the modern 5%. Christianity has seen a slow decline from 40% of the population in 1972 to 30% in the present.
