You'd have to talk to someone else about subjectivism, I'm not a subjectivist, lol. I see excuse making and dissonance, and I call it excuse making and dissonance. Even if you're a subjectivist, the excuse making and dissonance is still there.
It's there right now. This, also, from many accounts, is how people feel and what they do in the situation you find yourself in. The situation you asked about. The initial realization of evil (subjectively or objectively apprehended) does not cause any loss of faith - but a massive and convoluted redirection of ones own values, a loss of faith in ones own self and appraisals - rather than god, or god's.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
