Humans don 't always need to see things to understand them and believe them as real and possible. Religion, science and stories are 3 things in the life of Pi that aren 't seen but are still believed to be real and possible.
Science is one of the things humans done need to see to understand and believe in. Orange juice floating towards Pi on her pile of bananas, the canivourous island and Pi surviving with Richard Parker on the boat are scientific feats that were believed by others, even if they did not see it. Orange juice floating to Pi on a pile of bananas was a scientific feat that was believed even though it wasn 't seen.

Christianity, Islam and Hinduism are the 3 religions Pi believes in, even if he can 't actually see them. Pi believes in Christianity even though he can 't see it.

Among an obscure tribe in a backwater of West Asia on the confines of a long-vanished empire?"(pg 70) Even though Pi had no physical proof of God and Jesus existing, he later understands and believes in Christianity and identifies as a Christian. Another religion Pi believes in without having to physically see it is Islam. Pi saw the guy in the Islam place of worship pray in front of him. Pi didn 't exactly know what he was doing and he didn 't see what Islam was about (pg 76), yet he was still interested in it. Later Pi understands, believes and practices Islam, even though he can 't see the actual gods. Hinduism is also a religion Pi believes in even though he can 't see it. When Pi first went to a temple he had "no conscious memory of the first go around in a temple, but some smell of incense, some play of light and shadow, some flame, some burst of colour, something of the sultriness and mystery of the place must have stayed with me" (pg 59). Even though Pi was too young to see and remember anything that was going on, when he grows up he believes and understands Hinduism. I conclusion, Pi practicing Christianity, Islam and Hinduism even though he can 't see all the parts of it show that religion is something that humans don 't have to see to believe in and
