Red pill on paganism. What do they really believe in?
Paganism is an umbrella term for numerous religions. They are not one cohesive group. Some of us hate each other more than Christians hate Muslims.

It's a blanket term for anything that falls outside Abrahamic faiths. Kindly stop making shitposts, it makes Jesus cry.

He may not be shitposting. This is how some people learn.
Trust me. I know plenty of people that think "Pagans" are one group of religious people.

Yes. I'm Celtic/Druidic. Which is a religion all on its own.
There is Hellenism, Germanic, Norse, Native American, Slavic...and tons more Paganism.
In Celtic Paganism (Since I know most about it.) the religion is very much individualized. Every Druidic person has a little bit different of a practice. Even within large communities where everyone is the same in label, there is always a bit of individualism. Which is just fine. Druidism and Celtic Paganism were very individualistic back in the good ol' days as well. Every town, every Druid, and to an extent every person had a personal relationship with their spiritual path. That is a very watered down explanation of course but I'm just hitting the high points.
I can't say "We" because I cannot speak for every Celtic Pagan/Druidc follower. So I'll tell you what I believe.
I believe that "God", as in an all knowing, all encompassing being exists. But it is not an actual entity who rides clouds and shit. It is a force of nature that reacts to every living thing.
As for actual gods who are entities, I think plenty exist and I have a couple main gods I consider "mine." Even gods of other religions exist.
There is no hell or heaven. Just continuation of life. For better or worse, you live now. You die later. And you are reborn somewhere else as something or someone else. And what you become depends on what you need to experience, personally. Our souls seek to experience all life in every way, shape and form.
