"It comes to the conclusion of what we call God, not by arbitrary predication or affirmation, but by reasoning towards divine simplicity, by discerning fundamental a posteriori knowledge of our reality and world."
There is no reasoning when it comes to the divine because your whole belief system relies entirely on faith and not reason.For a subjective mind trying to reason about the existence of God or trying to relegate everything to divine simplicity he immediately runs straight into a wall.Because your god is beyond natural reasoning and therefore requires a belief in the supernatural or as you like to say objective reasoning which requires a presupposition that God exist as a starting point.It's good that you separate the two worldviews of objective and subjective minds since as an atheist I can only see things from a subjective point of view.The fact that I am an atheist obliterates any possibility of ever seeing things from your objective point of view.Atheist such as myself demand and require subjective evidence of this god.
The very idea or concept of a god is an insult to the intelligence of a true atheist,and the onus to prove the existence of such a being falls on the one making the claims (the believer).I am of the opinion that faith and reason are two concepts that are completely at odds with one another just like science and theism.Because god exists on this so called transcendental plain he is beyond the reach of science and therefore at least in my mind his existence is untennable.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
