Yes, religion is what fueled them to want to convert others. Take Nigeria for example: British "colonists" were concerned with spreading Christianity among tribes of the Igbo. That is how colonists first impacted the populations they colonized- by establishing the more powerful religions at the time and converting those with what seemed to be uncivilized beliefs.
