Explanation:
This keeps the religious nuance. Sometimes "godspeed" is just the perfect word for sending someone off. It gives more feeling, connection and support than just "good luck".

And some more context:
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Godspeed
[From Middle English God spede (you), may God prosper (you) : God, god; see god + spede, third person sing. present subjunctive of speden, to prosper (from Old English spēdan, from spēd, success; see speed).]
