The time required for research and presentation would make the complete answer a treatise rather than a simple response.

Even if we simplify and go for religions and their ethics, we would end up with a vast multitude of different ethics. As people interpret religious texts differently, various countries, and even within the same country, interpret the same text differently.

A crude example of this could be Rape:

In most of the western world, rape is a punishable offense. Most normally, the victim is a female, and the male performing the rape will be punished.

In some muslim countries, their interpretation is much more harsh, where they look at the female as an offender too, since she has had sex, often without being married.

In some countries, this is punishable by death - and even if the "public" law is against so called Sharia Law, the smaller local communities within a country might sentence death-penalty due to "tradition"

Even some highly westernized and modern countries like the United Arab Emirates stick to the punishment of rape-victims, although not death-penalty, it is tradition that the female victim get a stronger/longer sentence than the male offender.

The Bible and other religious books are in most a code of ethics to live by. The problem is that the interpretation can be so different from person to person, hence we would need the size of 100 bibles at least only to describe and explain the interpretations of all the ethics, and this only for the bible.
