I don't necessarily see a problem with a religious character or a philosopher pirate. The character could work with the right execution though I would think that it's a bit tricky. Philosophy wise, there would be plenty of time traveling on a ship and laying low from the law so I expect most characters would have hobbies to occupy them during such times, why not philosophy?

Skill wise I do agree that there should be something.

Well it would kinda be hard for him to be religious when he doesn't know that much about the religion he's practicing or even understand it's language.
