This study is aimed at comparing motivational religious levels of university students according to age and gender variables. The study included 288 students studying at different faculties of Adnan Menderes University. The "Motivational Religion Scale" was used to determine the levels of religiousness of the students involved in the study. In the process of analysis of the data obtained, the SPSS 22.0 program used the frequency analysis, the Independent t test and the One Way ANOVA analysis. At the end of the study it was found that the level of motivational religiousness in university students was high. When treated by age group variable, it was found that the motivational levels of religiousity of university students did not differ significantly according to age groups (p>0.05). When treated by gender variable, it is determined that the motivational levels of religiousness of students differ significantly by gender (p<0.05). The findings have found that the motivational levels of male students are higher than the levels of female students. As a result, it can be said that the level of motivational religiousness in university students is high and that gender is an important determinant over the level of religiousness.
