Yes. In fact most native people in the Americas died of European-introduced diseases. The best example is the Aztec civilization, thought to be defeated by Cortes and his men. The reality is that 80% of the Aztec civilization died of smallpox and Cortes defeated a much weakened foe.
The Aztec did not have a grounded religion. They worshiped what they thought were gods (sun, moon, lightning) and created their own ceremonies. No name was ever given to their religion.
