To be moral we need to have some higher ideal. The philosophy that says it is enough to be a good person without faith in a higher power is one of the six main philosophies that existed in ancient India and it was called Karmamimamsa. The problem with this philosophy that if we do not believe in some higher power than eventually our mind will convince us anything that gives us pleasure is OK, since really if there is nothing higher than this material body there is no higher value than giving it pleasure.
I can say with certainty from personal experience that some times I might get into something that is a bit in my gray moral area, and with time I convince my self it is fine, more over things that I thought were totally wrong now seem not so bad. Thanks to the fact I do believe in a higher power I know that satisfying my own egoistic needs is not the highest thing, and that by maintaining a high moral standard I can advance spiritually to a goal beyond this material world. Other wise there is no logical pragmatic reason not to enjoy fully on others expanse, only education and sentiments which can not lust.
A secular viewReligion should not be the de facto moral system where a religion tells people what is right and what is wrong. Right and wrong cannot be a derivative of a belief when there are obvious and logical methods to derive what is right and wrong, independent of belief.
If someone needs a religion to see what is right and what is wrong, that person has to be brainless.

What are the religious techings of morality and religion?
You should probably rephrase your question. It's difficult to answer "What are the religious teachings of religion" and "What are the religious teachings of morality". You would need to spicify what religion. Morality is simply the priciples concerning decisions of right and wrong. So each religion would have different moral values.
