I've seen people reading it everywhere and read many a blog post about it since it came out at Christmas. I think it points to a renewed interest in religion, whether it be fear of fundamentalists or genuine questioning. Your comparisons between Dawkins and fundamentalists have been observed and commented on by many others including atheist bloggers! One interview I heard suggested that Dawkins, Sam Harris and friends are reacting to the dominance of the religious right in America and generalising out from there.
