But anyway, let's just use your definition for this. So, why exactly do you believe the australian boy clearly did it "for ideological/political reasons", and what makes you sure the Oregon shooter did not do it "for ideological/political reasons"?

He was shouting religious slogans?

From what I've heard, the "Oregon shooter" asked his victims for their religion, and usually only killed them if they said they were christians.

So, where's the huge difference?

BTW, if you consider "for ideological/political reasons" to be the clear definition of terrorism, you must obviously consider soldiers claiming to "defend their country" to be terrorists, right? Because that's clearly for ideological/political reasons, too.

That's not true, testimonies of survivors said he killed people regardless of their religion. He just said "you'll meet your God soon enough" to Christians.
