ou said that Pi believes in three religions which makes him a religious person. However, he focuses more on science during his time abroad the lifeboat which helps him with his survival. Does it hinder him from being a strong believer?

Pi is a very eclectic character. He ponders three religions because he is open to the world of possibilities. These possibilities include the world of science. Pi is able to balance the two and, at times, connect them in wonderful ways. Pi's openness to the possibilities to science and religion is part of what makes him such a compelling character.
