    “Bless” is archaic, but I don’t think it has to be exclusively religious.

    EDIT: I looked for alternate definitions, but I guess it pretty much does always refer to holy/divine approval…

      Bless
      verb

      to consecrate or sanctify by a religious rite; make or pronounce holy

      I think bless is an inherently religious word, although not necessarily of any particular religion

      It has a religious origin, but it can certainly be used secularly, and is more often than not. I just like avoiding it when possible.
