I find these data very interesting - can you supply me citations? Especially on the 2nd part. I do give non-religious presentations and al-hamdulillah usually no problem. I do agree with your analysis though, and I think it links directly to what I've concluded at least about my own experience: i have grown accustomed to the purely communicative or message-oriented part of it. But when the communication has to serve an additional function (besides articulating a message) then there's more pressure. I look forward to getting these research citations. And a big JAK for the comments. Jazaakallahu khayran both for the reassurance and the data. I find these data very interesting - can you supply me citations? Especially on the 2nd part.

It should be seen as a blessing when you dont fall into that category. It's also quite normal, according to social psychology research, to more nervous than usual when presenting to those that are peers in one's profession. Do you do a lot of non-religious presentations? If the proportion of Islamic talks (khutbahs, speeches) is much higher than other talks, then that might also be a source of some anxiety...
