The reasons paganism is so misconstrued is mostly as a result of the christian church. Although paganism itself is a religion, the Christian Church labeled anything not Christian as Paganism. Through time and the influence of other major religions, every religion not belonging to a major sect or cult was referred to as Paganism.
The Pentagram --
Yet again a result of Christianity (with influences from Hollywood) the pentagram has been shown in the light of devil worship (and in the da vinci code - woman worship) WRONG. Satanism is represented by an inverted (or perverse) pentagram. The church of satanism is represented by an inverse pentagram with a goat's head in the middle.
Sorry about the short post.
(Also note that the bible compares Christians to Sheep constantly. Oh how I laughed at that one.)
