I think the Eagleton is defending a view of God and religion which Dawkins/Hitchens are not attacking. Eagleton is defending the God of the philosophers whereas they are attacking the God of the non-philosophically religious.
By the way, Eagleton agrees with you about writing literary criticism. He thinks it's unbelieveable that he gets paid to do it, and worries that some day the secret might get out.
