Of course he didn't get it until the end, up until then it was just another person's religion. Interesting anthropoligically but not much more. It wasn't until that last night when he listened to ancestors as the tree (the same night they had sex -- or however Na'vi bond) that he knew it was actually true and not just mysticism.

Before that, the best he could do would be to simply respect the odd religious beliefs of the others.
