Why is the philosophy of faith so important?

The philosophy of faith is extremely important for Pi and billions of other people. Religion offers answers to the question we can’t answer ourselves. Questions like why we are here, how we got here and where we will go when we die. Religion also offers incentive to be a good person. In Hinduism you are rewarded according to how you act in life by Karma. If you do good, good things happen to you but if you do bad, bad things happen to you. The same can be said for Christianity. If you go through life being a good person, you will be rewarded with entrance into heaven but if you go through life being a bad person, doing bad things you will be punished and cast into hell. Faith essentially explains all the most important aspects of our lives; creation, life, death, and our path in life.
