I think the passage about Pi feeling kinship with Mr. Kumar is important. I think that it foreshadows an event or relationship in the future between these two characters.
I agree with both Jackson and Natalie. I also noticed how Pi doubts God and Christ on pages 50-56. Later, his beliefs might come back to him. He might have to make a difficult decision or agreement with someone.
The passage about Pi meeting the people from all three religions is important because it begins to push Pi away from being in a single religion. He recognizes a god and knows he has to pray.
I believe all of the authors passages and descriptions of Pi's affirmations and learnings of three religions were very significant. Pi will need these religious building blocks and outlines of faith (which he learned from the three men, one Hindu, one Christian, and one Muslim) when he endures a long time of isolation and hopeless hardship. Also, I agree with Jackson that the father's harsh, almost hostile demonstration of the tiger's ferocity will keep the boys from getting hurt or even killed.
I think that when the father shows the boys how the animals are dangerous, is significant. this will protect the boys from being injured, or killed.
