The Celtic religion never really was ended since Ireland was never invaded by the Romans and Scotland was only briefly invaded several times. But the first instance of trying to destroy theie religion started with Julius Caesar's campaigns in Gaul as he identified that the main religious leaders were the Druids and they were the cohesive part of the Celtic way of life. The final end of Celtic religion in Roman Britain occured when in AD 61, Suetonius Paulinus crossed the Menai Strait over to Anglesey (or Mona as the Romans called it) and killed all the druids there giving no quarter to men, women or children that were there, effectively ending Celtic resistance to Roman rule in Britannia.
