well no.

"civilisation" has been around for about 10,000 years. christianity has existed for 2000, jusasim 3500.

remote "uncivilised" cultures such as indigenous australians have had their religion for more than 30,000 years.

Our global society will collapse eventually - it has to. and from there new religions will pop up.

Global society doesn't collapse without human extinction at this stage. Tech has come too far.

No. Tech only exists while people are able to afford it.

As soon as it becomes unaffordable, it becomes rare. Imagine if the next 5-7 generations of phone are 7k each, it would only take 10 years for smart phones to become like yachts.

Except that will never happen due to mass proliferation of the technology, there are already billions of phones and a phone that costs a 1/10th of a flagship 5 years ago already outperforms it in all metrics.

Your given scenario is therefore impossible, any company that charges that much for a phone when there are literally thousands of alternatives will go bankrupt and it's customers will buy elsewhere.
