As to why it is always the same half-dozen or so that speak in
tongues and interpret, I can only quote the Apostle Paul "All
these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to
each one individually as he wills." 1 Cor. 12:11(RSV). The Words
of Prophesy also tend to come from a regular group, of perhaps 20
or so, and the Healing gift seems to be in another group.

As to the religious background on the users at the ssc-vax, I know
of three Christians; David, myself, and an Episcopal Preist (who
probably gets some good chuckles out of all this). I'm sure there
are other religions represented.
