Except you're missing the whole point of invoking God and the Invisible Hand is that they are not random, like luck; instead, they supposedly distribute rewards to those who are hard working and/or devout. If you aren't a winner, in other words, it's your own fault, because you didn't work or pray hard enough. This is entirely different from the idea of luck, and in fact bringing the idea of luck into the picture actually challenges elite rhetoric, because it suggests that one's wealth is not the direct result of hard work, but of random factors like where and when you were born.
