Which of the following sounds more natural and common in daily conversation:
They still cling/stick/hold/adhere to their belief.
Any advice/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Any of them, though 'hold' would benefit from an additional word: hold fast / hold tight

Which I used would depend on the greater context, but if pushed to choose. my natural inclination would be to use 'cling'. There's nothing wrong with the others though.
