The Shinto religion has many Japan-specific mythologies: for example,
the divine couple Izanagi and Izanami giving birth to the Japanese
islands. I should hardly have to mention the Exodus, in which God
specifically instructed the nation of Israel to occupy the promised
land by burning the natives and their cities to the ground. That's
two off the top of my head.
