Could the behaviours of the religious be considered a very mild form a Collective Hysteria? Does this apply when there is a frenzied, overly defense response from large numbers of Christians following a question posted by an atheist?

I'm not a Christian but I think people tend to defend what they passionately believe in. They may be misguided but I don't think it's hysteria. If you'd have mentioned religious gatherings and religious music then I'd have agreed with your collective hysteria theory.

Most all organized religions are based on mass hysteria and mass delusions.
They call it "faith," but it is really insanity.
Atheists do not generally run around proclaiming invisible monsters exist. And, when asked to prove they exist, demand someone prove they don't exist.
Religion is based on delusions.

That could go both ways from the Christians and the Atheists.

No, I don't think so. Not in this context anyway! But I'm sure there are other situations where your statement would be correct.
