We're now into "morals on the go" where atheists must ask, "But how about this situation? Is this ok to do?"
Hugo is no different.
First of all the term "atheists" (which you say is a gross generalisation) is directly from Greta's blog. She includes all atheists in her guilt free fornication.
God says that for the protection of marriage, of the children and of society in general, sex is to be reserved for marriage and marriage is to be till "death do us part." While non-Christians can technically go do as they please, "morally correct sexual contact" for Christians or non Christiains takes place within the context of marriage. Of course the "acts" need to be consensual and not demeaning to either partner even within marriage but all things being equal, God created us profoundly sexual beings and He meant for us to enjoy it within those guidelines.
Those who rebel against their Creator also rebel against His guidelines and so we have what we have.
Divorce by the millions.
Abortions by the tens of millions.
Children abanondoned by one or both parents.
People using each other as sexual objects and the emotional fallout that comes from that.
Atheist / pagan utopia.
Who could ask for more?

I don't understand why my comment deserved ridicule according to you. "Morals on the go" is what you do, I do, what everybody does. We have a set of values that are more or less unchangeable throughout our lives, but each different moral dilemma/question is unique and needs to be assessed in context according to these values.
You do it yourself in this very post concerning sexual interactions!
If a person asks you: Is it morally correct for person 'A' to have sex with person 'B'? You cannot give an answer. You need to ask at least 2 more questions: Are they married? Is it consensual?
That is "morals on the go" EXACTLY the same way I use my "morals on the go"
Actually, it's even more complicated than that because after asking these two questions, you are still not sure if their sexual act is morally correct! I'll let you think of other scenarios...

Who cares... Can't you back up what YOU write? That is what I am talking about. Let me quote your blog post again and explain the flaws. I will sound extra snobbish, but perhaps you will at one point start to admit when you do mistakes in reasoning...
A few of the women who spoke with the roving reporter said that sexting was in fact best when done with someone who is married. “It adds to the excitement.” I doubt if one of the women was atheist Greta Christina but I'd be surprised if she didn't agree. Guilt free adultery is highly prized by atheists. At least that what they brag about in their surveys.
- The fact presented here is that 'a few women said X'. I purposely write 'X' because what they wrote does not matter.
- Then, you write that Greta Christina, an atheist, probably agrees with 'X'.
- You support your statement by saying that 'Guilt free adultery is highly prized by atheists. At least that what they brag about in their surveys.'
- Regardless of what 'X' is, the validity of that last statement can be evaluated by itself.
- The statement says 'Y' about atheists. 'Y', again, is not important. You concluded that because Greta is an atheists, she probably believe 'X', based on the fact that atheists accept 'Y'. For that reasoning to be true, you would need to demonstrate that 'Y' is true, AND that 'X' must be true if 'Y' is true.
- Finally, we come to what I was complaining about: 'Y' is NOT true. So there is no need to even try to link 'Y' to 'X'... 'Y' is false because it says that 'Guilt free adultery is highly prized by atheists' which is a broad generalization that I completely disagree with.
Sorry again for the 'schooling' tone!

Any indication that religion is the solution to all that? No! These problems arise because people act contrary to values that you and I can agree on, regardless of our beliefs in God.
