Yes, you can substitute molasses for honey. They're going to function essentially the same measure for measure since they are both syrups.
Keep in mind however there will be a difference in flavor (not necessarily bad, just different...which would be the case for one honey over another...different tastes).

4And don't forget molasses will impact the color of the resulting baked good! – VoutilaD Jul 30 '10 at 11:33

Yes. You can also substitute 1 cup molasses with 3/4 cup packed brown sugar + 1/4 water, or 1 cup pure maple syrup, or 1 cup dark corn syrup.

Yes it is equal in measure but will make whatever your baking sweeter.

3Which one makes it taste sweeter? The question asks about substituting in both directions. – Cascabel Jun 03 '13 at 03:00
