There is no separation of church and state. The first amendment prevents Congress enacting laws that develop a state religion, or favor one religion over another, but there's nothing preventing a man from using his own beliefs as a guideline for policy. The people elect the leader who they believe will make the best decision, and in this case the majority of people voted for President Bush.
I hate it when people limit science, but science must be tempered with ethics. Personally I feel stem cell research is ethical, but others disagree. Those in charge get to make the decisions, so I don't have much of a choice for the next few years.
