In EA, there is no necessary connection between a cleric character's deity and its domain. So if release works the same way, whether or not any particular combination of deity and domain does or doesn't "make sense" is entirely up to your head canon. And maybe that's how you mean your post to be taken.
In the final game the Life domain Cleric is recognized in conversations specifically as a Cleric of Selune, and Trickery domain Cleric is specifically recognized as a Cleric of Shar...so the game does define those subclasses pretty well...plus Larian have confirmed that two characters' subclasses are locked...they haven't confirmed specific identities but they are almost certainly Shadowheart and Wyll...so you probably can't change Wyll's patron or Shadowheart's faith.
