The main belief that defines an agnostic is the inability to know certain things about reality (e.g. god, afterlife). Given this they are free to choose to believe what they want, recognizing that they are doing it blind and there may be consequences if they chose wrong.

Many agnostics choose atheistic beliefs, some choose theistic, etc. However they choose would influence their practice. But there is nothing in agnosticism itself that requires certain practices.
