Elven religion differs from human in one important aspect: The ancient elves actually knew their gods, personally.
Before the Gods Wars, the deities were more active in the world and would, in fact, appear quite regularily. While among humans, only a rare few prophets were able to glance at their deities, the elves of old would feast with them, have their prayers answered in person, or got to war alongside their gods.
That was thousands of years ago, however. Not many of those ancient elves remain in the world, and the younger elves are not much better off than their human neighbours, having heard about the gods only through tales of old.
There are no temples or churches in the elven religion, but small shrines exist, often as memorials in locations where the gods did something important.
Elven priests do exist, though they are more scholars and advisors than preachers. They are sought out as wise men or women and consulted on matters of ethics, family or personal development. The elves do not bother the gods nor their priests with simple things of daily life, but do seek their advise for important decisions and difficult situations.
