Or do I get to do what I think is right and best for me, as I do now, as an Atheist?

Just be safe, that's all I ask. Otherwise, I really don't care what you do as long as it's consensual and with someone of legal age.

Considering that the Christians have a much higher divorce rate than we do, I expect that your morals may, in fact, be significantly improved by this move... Depending on whether you consider marriage to be moral, I suppose... Having someone there for emotional support probably isn't too bad...
Sorry, I digressed. Yes, your morality is pretty much the same as an atheist, only now you're not sure if you got it right or not. I definitely will not claim that the uncertainty involved in being an atheist is any sort of relief whatsoever. Please don't go into agnosticism expecting any rewards of any sort except happy acceptance by other agnostics. My experience is that the move to agnosticism is more masochistic or stoic than hedonistic.
Consider this:
A Christian can screw around, but can hope that Jesus will forgive the transgression.
Atheists can screw around and will expect that there are no consequences for their actions other than natural, worldly consequences.
Agnostics not only can expect the same consquences as atheists, but have no idea if there are any divine consequences. There might be; there might not be. You don't know. You have to decide for yourself if you're going to worry about that, but ultimately you have to give up on it to not make life unbearable or you have to hold yourself to much higher moral standards "just in case."

I can't believe you're an atheist!
When you were a self-professed weak agnostic: I was so certain that you had spiritual inclinations; and that once you recovered from Christianity you would embrace the mysteries of life.
I guess I was mistaken.

Some of the most sexually immoral persons are believers, so expecting you to have cold showers would be nothing else buts hypocrisy. So go ahead and enjoy and forget about the a...holes who try and spout the morality jargon.
And God did say Go forth and multiply.

Absolutely, sexual morals, as all morals, are subject to our own expectations.

Yes, you'll have to work on sexual positions that are so far not proven to be possible =)
