The exact SRD wording, as I don't have PHB access at the moment, is
"When your character becomes a Cleric, you may choose to have your character serve a specific deity. The cleric's deity influences his alignment, what magic he can perform, his values, and how others see him...the cleric's alignment must be within one step of his deity's, and it may not be neutral unless the deity's alignment is neutral...Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells: A cleric can't cast spells of an alignment opposed to his own or to his deity's."
