What do we know about the moral beliefs of the World of Warcraft religions? Does the Church of the Holy Light have any teachings on marriage, honor, morality, etc? How should a priest of the Holy Light be behaving, what sort of activities should they condemn and praise?

And what about the other religions?

The best place for this info is the WoW RPG but here are the answers to your questions:

The Church of the Holy Light worships the Light and teaches everyone to follow the Three Virtues which are Respect/Tenacity/Compassion.

If you want to compare it to a real world religion then a mixture of Christian and Buddhisim (sp?) would be a good place to start. it's all about making the universe a better place and both Horde and Alliance members are more than welcome to join.

Honor/morality are part of the Three Virtues which make up the tenats of the faith.

As for other religions you have a few to select from:

Nelfs worship the Goddess Elune and nature as a whole
Orcs/Taurne worship nature as well as their ancestors
Gnomes don't worship anything but technology would be the closest
Naga worship Ashara and the Old Gods
Forshaken worship Shadow as in the Church of the Forgotten Shadow

Sorry, should have been more precise.

Better phrasing: "And what about the moral beliefs of the other religions? What does a Priestess of Elune teach, for instance?"
