I’m surprised that no one has suggested the words of Ted Chiang. One of his short stories was turned into the movie Arrival. His work is sci-fi and often touches on the ideas of religion and is also deeply humanist and generally optimistic in a way that isn’t always seen in sci-fi. Exhalation is one collection of short stories, and Story of Our Lives is another.

Someone Who Will Love You In All Youd Damaged Glory by Raphael Bob-Waksberg.
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk is an odd case since it’s a novel, but each of the main characters is writing a short story which they present over the book.

I’d also recommend grabbing a Ray Bradbury story collection.
