What do atheists say as an alternative to "good luck" or "best wishes?"
We certainly wouldn't say things like "Godspeed" or "I'll pray for you," but since most atheists don't believe in luck or wishes either, then we wouldn't say "Good luck" or "Best Wishes" either.
Which phrases do you prefer, personally?

Why not wish someone good luck? We are all subject to changing fortunes and happenstance, whether it is in our favor or not is what we call luck, no? I see no problem in wishing that fortune should favor someone.

For those of us who believe fortune to be, at best, but a word, wishing someone good luck makes about as much actual sense as wishing that a semicolon be there to guide and protect them.

How about "keep the greasy side down" or " keep the pointy end forward" for travelers.
As for sneezing, I've taken to inserting other god's names as in "Zeus bless you" or "oden bless you". The easiest to say is "Godzilla bless you"

Randall Smith posted a blog postThe Rednecks are coming, the Rednecks are coming
Actually, the rednecks are here and everywhere. Let me say, I'm not a big fan of these people. That's putting it mildly. Need I describe them? You know who I mean.This seems to be the time of year when they come out of the woodwork. Here in Indiana, as the weather gets nice, the motorcyclists are out in full force. I hate the noise cycles make. Then there's the Indianapolis 500 fans, the majority of which are rednecks. Interview them or a typical Pacer fan (big news as they face the Miami…See More
