unworshipped
Lacking devoted followers
Unworshipped describes something or someone not receiving worship or veneration.
A god may go unworshipped when believers abandon the old religion.
The word can carry pathos—an unworshipped deity is a forgotten one.
The ancient statues stood unworshipped in the ruined temple.
