Contemporary times, the oldest druidic's society Plaque celebrating the revival of the order in London. After World War I, the relations between the AOD and the UAOD and the OD (scission of the UAOD) abated, and each year a joint congress was organized in Great-Britain. During World War II, much of the Order's archives has been destroyed during The Blitz. After World War II, a welfare state was established in the United Kingdom, the consequences  were that fraternal societies were no longer attractive and they faded. If the UAOD and the OD have completely disappeared in the 1990' , the Ancient Order of Druids has remained. Today, as a philanthropic and charitable society, the Ancient Order of Druids still remains the world oldest and regular druidic's order. It is the earliest known English group to be founded based upon the iconography of the ancient druids, who were priest-like figures in Iron Age Celtic paganism. As such, the Order was an early influence upon the development of the Neo-druidic movement,Hutton 2009. p. 132. however it differs from most contemporary Neo-druidic groups in that it does not hold to a Neopagan religion, and is "not a religious organisation – in fact any discussion on religion or politics is forbidden within the lodge rooms". Instead, its members are expected "to preserve and practise the main principles attributed to the early Druids, particularly those of justice, benevolence and friendship."
