Piscine Patel is a Hindu who later in life accepts Islam and Christianity. In his eyes, the importance of religion is to love God. Even though, he is a devout believer of these three religions, the Hindu, Christian, and Muslim religious leaders scrutinize Piscine for accepting all three faiths. Each religious leader fails to respect or see the beauty of the others religion like Piscine has; therefore, they begin to debase each other’s religious beliefs and ethics. Despite of his parents and the religious leaders’ disapproval, Piscine continues to love God by practicing all three religions because ultimately, there is one heaven, and the Islamic, Christian, and Hindu god is the same god. This faith in God has sustained him during his journey in the sea. He never fails to thank God for the blessings and never blame God when things go wrong. His faithfulness has given him strength to survive since he has God, the Hindu, the Islamic, and the Christian, at his side.
