Freest areas are the least Catholic. Why is that?

Try cross-referencing these maps with similar maps that show voting patterns by county/state.

Look at a county-by-county voting map of New York, MA, and CR and you will still see that the heavily Catholic counties and municipalities voted for Kerry and Obama.

You do have outliers in New Jersey like Monmouth and Morris Counties, but that is due to the fact that these places are dominated by private sector management-types, and even said counties were only narrowly GOP. The blue collar Catholic counties (Middlesex, which also has alot of Asians, Camden, Gloucester, Burlington, etc) all voted heavily for The One.
