One can believe in luck without believing it to be "divine intervention" or some supernatural thing. Luck is defined as: "Success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions." Nowhere does it indicate that the outcome was influenced by anything other than chance; probability and possibility. Side: Yes

Luck doesn't necessarily involve magic, however. It's merely a word used to describe an outcome of an even brought on by chance rather than ones own actions. In this way, it's luck that our heart beats and our planet is habitable. I, for one, feel very lucky to be sentient. Side: Yes
