'Luck' comes from the pagan idea of 'Fortune', a pagan goddess who it was believed was responsible for what we call 'luck' or a person's 'fortune' (ie the events in their life, good and bad). Chance however implies pure randomness, which is a practical admission of atheism.
Now, of course the word 'chance' is often used to simply mean 'what happens' with no thought of true randomness, but that's a semantic issue.

You don't believe in "pure randomness"? I know a teacher of Chaos Theory (know OF him, not him personally) who would love to sit down with you.
