Science and state are already separated in the same manner as church and state. Science gets grants, churches get tax breaks. The government can’t compel you to believe a particular theory. There are no scientific tests for office.
As for the evil uses science has been put to by governments, this is the exception rather than the rule - agronomy, medicine, and proper sanitation have improved the human condition much more than all the bombs and guns in history have damaged it. Religion, on the other hand, is automatically and intrinsically damaging to the human condition when forced on people who don’t want it.
