What faith is, is evil. It is the deliberate rejection of the essence of one's humanity -- the ability to apply reason to evidence and reach sound conclusions.

Faith describes a subjective state that is akin to personal trustfulness. The objective nature is what faith is placed in.

Faith is faith. You either believe or not.
Interpretation of the holy texts, from a mortal's point of view, can be seen more as a subjective reading, as we humans can only perceive the limits of the written text and our interpretations of them, but the holy texts are limitless in scope, being written by God, through the teachings of His Manifestations.
We have been given the gift of understanding, and even better, wisdom when interpreting the holy writings of God, when we do so with a spiritual maturity. If we are not mature spiritually, we use the holy texts as justification to ruin humanity...not cure it.

If you believe in something that you yourselves have created or invented then it is subjective as what is believed will depend on the believer and can therefore be bent to suit the believer.
True faith is objective because we believe what is taught by Jesus Christ through his true Church which you all know though some of you don't like it. (not what we feel or invent or think should be the case)

Objective...3 a: expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations...
Subjective would also be correct in one definition of the word...

both
Faith is founded on what one accepts as objective reality and truth
but
Faith is applied subjectively and hollistically in one's life
Objective doctrinal and moral norms but a subjective and personal relationship with the Ultimate and Eternal

Neither, it's relative, meaning relative to where one is born. Child indoctrination is highly psychological. Even if a child is not directly indoctrinated by their parents, in cultures with strong religion identities, the cultural influx of the religion will the same effect. Around 3/4 of the global of the population will carry on the religious beliefs of their parents.

Faith itself is subjective
Now the evidence of faith is objective.
So i guess the answer is both
