How do you define a conspiracy theory?

A belief that is based upon shadow evidence, not direct evidence with a pinch of a similar incident or organization whose truth has been revealed.

An example; the government is spreading chem trails. No direct evidence exists that this is happening. However, the CIA did disburse a specific bacteria over an American city once to see if it was effective by being aerosolized.

I think it means any idea not coming from corporate media or official government.
