When someone will take up a bar exam or attend to an interviw, do you often say Goodluck or God bless you? For you, what is the differences or similarities between this two? In my opinion, Goodluck means may the result of your interview/exam will turns good. On the other hand, God bless you means May God be with you in your interview/exam. How about you?

I usually say "good luck". With so many hundreds of religions even within just the USA, I think saying "God Bless you" to someone who possibly doesnt believe in god (or your version of god) is like saying, "I will cast a spell for your good fortune" to someone who does not believe in paganism or witchcraft.
I have said "bless you" (without the God part) to people when thanking them for a kind act but not in reference to an obstacle they are about to face.

It sounds like you have no worries then. :) I only know how religiously diverse America is and was just stating how I would or do say these things. I was not implying there is a right or wrong way to go about it. :)

I usually say good luck to those people going for interviews or the like, I say God bless you to the ones I know well and who are of christian faith.
