Misconceptions about Pagans and Paganism
What do you find are the most common, and most insidious (as in, never go away) misconceptions about Paganism? Have you experienced any of them directly, or mainly through media (the internet counts as personal experience)?
Pagans sometimes spend a good deal of effort trying to "clear up" misconceptions about certain things, but do you think the methods are effective? If not, what's standing in the way? (And, if you're a non-Pagan who previously had misconceptions about Paganism, but became better educated through some way, feel free to share here =) )

The one that I have heard a lot is that all Pagans are Wiccan and/or Worship only The Goddess.

That we are all Wiccans....
A friend of mine is just convienced that all Pagans, I guess I should say all Neo-Pagans are Wiccans. She sees no difference between Non-Wiccan Pagans and Wiccans. lol So it's a mess trying to spell out the difference as she's nither Pagan or Wiccan and doesn't care to learn anything more about them. She's only reacting to what shes sees on the surface.

I personally don't like the "all pagans sacrifice chickens" one. Sheesh! In this day and age...
