Which among the following statements is not correct about the Reign of Terror?

The Reign of Terror (1793–1794) was characterized by Robespierre's policy of severe control and punishment [1]. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Law of Suspects and the revolutionary tribunal targeted a wide range of individuals beyond the political class, including ex-nobles, clergy, and even members of the Jacobin party [1]. Statement 1 is correct as the Jacobins, supported by the sans-culottes, purged the Girondist leaders [2]. Statement 2 is incorrect in a historical sense as the Jacobins were anti-clerical and pursued de-Christianization, though the question asks for the 'not correct' statement, and Statement 3 is a more definitive legal falsehood regarding the scope of arrests. Statement 4 is correct as the period ended with Robespierre's execution in July 1794 [1][3]. The Terror's reach was universal, affecting all social strata deemed 'enemies' of the republic [1].
