Honoré de Balzac explores faith, reason, and human contradiction in The Atheist’s Mass, a thought-provoking short story from his La Comédie Humaine cycle. In this intriguing tale, Balzac presents a respected surgeon who openly rejects religion—yet is discovered secretly attending a Catholic mass. What compels an atheist to take part in a ritual he does not believe in?
