Some of Bultmann's arguments against faith's being a _Weltanschauung_ are misleading insofar as they fail to state explicitly what he expressly allows elsewhere -- e.g., when he says that "with respect to its content of ideas, \[the word of God\] is a possible world view" (_NTM_: 41). By this I understand him to mean that, although the word of God, or the proclamation, like the faith for which it calls, _is_ not a world view, it nonetheless necessarily _implies_ a world view that is correctly understood as such.
