Paganism is a very large umbrella with many sub-groups beneath it.

Depending on the path the pagans in question are following they may pray to any number of gods and goddesses, the choice depends on the individual and in some cases the reason for the prayer. Most, but not all, pagans are polytheistic, meaning they have multiple deities, and they can worship deities from almost any of dozens of pantheons (Ancient Greek, Norse, Hindu, Shinto, etc). Although some simply combine all their deities into a few based simply on gender (ie: The Lord and Lady, or the God, Goddess and Powers That Be.) Some are also pantheistic (believing there is an "element" of the divine in all things) or animistic (believing all living things, and sometimes non-living things, have spirits, and they worship these spirits.) Some also practice self-worship, focusing on the divine within themselves.

Pagans do not generally live in exclusive communities. More commonly we live wherever is convenient (for work, schooling, etc) for us and our families and then go looking for "like minded people" to worship with.

What are the stereotypes for pagans concerning their religion and morals?

The worst issue is that many Christians thinks that Pagans worship devil. This is not true because Pagans don't believe any entity of pure evil. The root of this steriotypr is that the Pagan god Pan has antlers which are often misinterpreted as the horns of the Christian devil Satan. Not all the Pagans are Vegitarian. Most of the Pagans don't pollute their bodies with narcotics. Pagans are not Hippies. There is a big difference.
