I used Atheist Researcher in 2015 as an academic profile and a home for notes related to my doctoral research. It separated the research material from the broader commentary on Research Musings (2014). The separation did not last long.
The surviving capture contains the home page, navigation, blogroll, and titles of five recent posts. The profile has been anonymized here along with the rest of the museum.

Sociology · irreligion · secularity
Home
This site belonged to a sociology PhD candidate studying secularist movements, including atheism, skepticism, and freethought. The research drew mainly on social movement theory, with an emphasis on lifestyle and identity.
The central question was how secularists negotiated identity and what symbolic importance they attached to movement activities.
Sorry, this is a replica, not a real website :( The surviving post titles open as local context notes. The other controls do not work.
The page is plain academic self-description: degrees, supervision, research interests, a CV link, and a small network of related organizations. It shows the point when the older skepticism writing was being turned into a dissertation project with a defined vocabulary: social movements, identity, lifestyle, and symbolic activity.
