The people believed that god sent birds down to carry the plague. They started going against the churches and priests because they felt what god was doing was wrong. They believed that is was the end of the world because so many people were dying.

Actually there was another belief that the Great King death started it! He had the body of a skeleton but it could still walk and talk. People believed that if you underestimated or hurt his feelings and got him angry, he would attack you in your sleep and you would have the black plague.
