Religious Figures: Overview

Religious figures are the most reserved in their behaviors. They do not waste movement compared to others or show expression as much either.
  ___________________________________________________
Rabbi Yehuda and the Pope remained very much alike, using similar body language in similar situations.
The outlier is when the Pope was in an interview discussing his views, where he was more animated. Likewise after his speech, he was friendlier and more personal with the public.

Khan remains somewhat different than the others, being more of a religious advocate. She acts more as a politician than the others, however only crudely so.

Still uses raised eyebrows and gestures.

Looking down to the left indicates thinking things through by self-talk - concerning an outward view, rather than the inward feelings view indicated by downward right looking.
