Religious people already believe in extraterrestrial beings, and would have the least problems with it. There are lots of Biblical references to UFOs and extraterrestrial beings, so I am puzzled by the assumption they would be surprised by things in which they already believe.

New World natives were susceptible to diseases brought by Europeans because humans are all the same species. It is unlikely that the biology of extraterrestrials would be anything like ours.
