I never got taught that in grammar. "He" is only capitalized if it's the
first word of a sentence or in a title.

I attribute that more to the paucity of grammar teaching in schools
these days, than to what is actually correct. I was taught to
capitalize the pronouns for God in 1982, in the ninth grade, in public
school.

For example:

"Note: Capitalize God only when it refers to the Christian God; also
capitalize all nouns and personal pronouns when they refer to God."

....is consistent with what I was taught.

I can understand why you feel you need to capitalize the "G" on god, but
why
do you have to capitalize the "H" in "he?"

Because the grammatical rules of Standard American English call for
it, Mike.
