Separation of church and state is derived from First Amendment. Particularly from this paragraph:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The actual phase "Separation of Church and State" was coined later by Thomas Jefferson as part of the interpretation and upheld numerous times in Supreme Court.
So, as far as your question is concerned, it already happened over 200 years ago.
As far as George Bush being a poster child for anything other than incompetence and corruption, I don't think so. He's a religious lunatic who would love to get rid of Constitution alltogether.

One day someone will actually show where it says anything about that in our constitution.
Oops. They can't. It's not in there.
