The "Darwin" fish are fairly common in the U.S. (though not nearly as common
as the unadorned Christian fish symbols), at least in California and
Colorado where I've spent the past several years. To me, it is indicative
of the tragedy that many people think Darwin is the "opposite" of
Christianity. So I wouldn't say these are "nutcases to ignore", but rather
people who (in part due to some Christians making a big deal out of
nonessentials) need to be educated as to what Christianity is really about.
