Adolescence is a period in which cognitive transition to abstract thinking and emotional independence is generally achieved. Since this period is a period of doubt and questioning about religious belief, matters of faith are frequently examined by young people. This study has been prepared based on James Fowler's cognitive-based belief development theory based on general development theories in one aspect and theology in the other. The study is qualitative research in which some universty students were interviewed, and some of them were asked to transfer their thoughts on paper. The data were analyzed with the phenomenological method and the following results were obtained: today's university students complain of aimlessness, hopelessness, inefficiency in planning for the future, being pressured by adults and not being trusted by them and understood, or misunderstood. Furthermore, these young people complain about the inconsistency of adults' discourse and actions and the lack of compassion and justice in their environment. University students, on the mental background of faith-related tendencies; think that it may be a reflex of stubbornness against the peer group, parents, or adults who do not approach them with empathy and sympathy during their search for meaning. University students also say that some young people in the socio-cultural field act with the desire to ‘draw attention’ or ‘prove their existence’.
