This article examines the intersection of religious faith and the ‘fight against modern slavery’ in the UK, as yet unexplored in sociological literature. Analysis of faith-based organisations’ activities in this area challenges understandings of a postsecular rapprochement between faith and secular actors – where postsecular is used by some scholars to refer to the re-emergence of faith in the public sphere, and where we understand rapprochement to mean the placing of equal value on faith-based and secular worldviews. Our research reveals that faith-based organisations in the anti-trafficking/modern slavery third sector operate on a ‘dual register’, secularising as they professionalise their public face, while retaining religious distinctiveness when engaging with co-religionists. We argue that, rather than evidence of a genuine two-way postsecular rapprochement, it seems that faith-based organisations in this sector are prioritising secular modalities, meaning the learning process is one-sided rather than complementary.

本文研究了宗教信仰与英国“反​​对现代奴隶制的斗争”的交集，这一点在社会学文献中尚未得到探讨。对基于信仰的组织在这一领域的活动进行的分析挑战了对信仰与世俗行为者之间世俗和解的理解–一些学者使用后世俗来指代公共领域的信仰重新出现，而我们理解与世俗组织的和解。意味着在基于信仰和世俗的世界观上给予同等价值。我们的研究表明，反贩运/现代奴隶制第三部门中的基于信仰的组织在“双重登记”下运作，在使公众形象专业化时世俗化，同时在与共同宗教主义者交往时保持宗教的独特性。我们认为，
