The concept of depending on a deity for- well, for virtually anything,- is one Henry finds deeply uncomfortable, and there are reasons for that (there's always a reason for everything somewhere inside); it has been said the fathers are the first model for God, and if your father abandons you, what does that say about God?

...well, it says that Henry has daddy issues, probably. But most of this doesn't show on this face, and what is is quickly overtaken by curiosity. "Does it require constant thought, like keeping oneself smiling by virtue of deliberately lifting the corners of the mouth?"

The comparison to an emotional lie is telling, perhaps. "Or is it unconscious like breath- or somewhere between?"
