Key quote from the press release on it:
"A majority who mentioned Dawkins’ work during research interviews reject his approach to public engagement and said his work misrepresents science and scientists because he conveys the wrong impression about what science can do and the norms that scientists observe in their work."
In other words, he's borrowing the veneer of science to promote his personal opinions, and scientists are tired of how this confuses the public about the nature of science.
