I'm not trying to do an ideological Turing Test here. I know what it is, I've seen quite a number of them here. As there are probably zero ISIS supporters (openly commenting as such) on this forum, such a test would not be feasible to do. The idea of a general theist/atheist ideological Turing Test was abandoned some time ago because it happens that this site is frequented by much more atheists than theists.
What I meant with the title is not that "hence with this article I shall conduct an ideological Turing Test", but that we, as in Western society in general might be failing it because we don't know enough about how they think.
