Well, of course that is what he intends. He isn't stupid enough to think that is how it will work all the time. And, if you go to his website, you will find letters from ex-religious folk who say the book worked for them, so what he intended happened, if not to everyone.
My own problem with The God Delusion is that it says little that I didn't already know and had thought through myself. Reading a book that just affirms what you already know/believe is ego-massaging but little else. It's why it's not as good as, say, The Selfish Gene or The Extended Phenotype.
