This only works if one presupposes the Christian god is necessary, which only works if one presupposes the bible to be true, which only works if one presupposes the Christian god is necessary, which only works if...well, you get the picture.
I do not believe it is justified that way, it's justified by the impossibility of the contrary. People who hold the opposite view cannot justify their own presuppositions; this violates the principle of sufficient reason. So the atheist is able to appeal to logic, but he cannot give an account for doing so.
