There is a distinction between a spell, and a spell effect. Deities directly grant their worshipers spells, but not spell effects—the worshipers themselves still need to cast the spell, that is, finish it, to create the spell effect. Though most of the heavy lifting has been performed by a deity, the actual effect in the end is created by the worshiper, a mortal.

Thus, the effects of divine spells are subject to an antimagic field and do not function therein.

If a god came down in person to cast a spell, then that would ignore an antimagic field. So, for example, a god could cast some spell upon a worshipermortal as a form of reward, a blessing, (or punishment) and that would ignore antimagic field.
