Hello Jason,
Where about in Greece are you? I'm in Glyfada.
Your written English is certainly better than my written Greek but I am not too shabby verbally.
As to your questions I find that the whole idea of there being a point to life (in the sense that religion means it) is one of the most depressing, truly nihilist approaches to life.
Freedom from slavery to God is worth having. You very much get to define the point of life for yourself. That can be generic - be the best person you can be, personal - find love and live a fulfilling life, focused - music, art, literature, professional - be a doctor, physicist, biologist, palaeontologist...
It can be a combination of those things, or none of them.
You get one go on this planet - make the most of it.
Oh - and I didn't have to kill God - he disappeared one day in a puff of logic and never returned. I was about 12.
As for changes in your sexuality I don't think there is any causal relationship with atheism - but it make well be linked to your opening up to a world of possibilities.
Who knows? And welcome on board.

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
