The difference between torte and gateaux is the former is a French cake while the latter is an Australian cake.
The origin of the gateaux cake is France, while the origin of the torte cake is Australia.
Gateaux is a French word for cake while tortes refer to a cake whose origin is Australia.

gateaux
'un gâteau' is any sort of cake in French. 'Une tarte' is a tart (a very thin and flat cake with a layer of fruit above) and pies are likely to be called 'tourtes'. 'Une tourte' resembles a'tarte' but has an additional layer of dough, to cover the fruits(or the mix of fruits, eggs, veggies, as une tourte may also be a main course and non only a dessert) The two terms are often used somewhat interchangeably, with one or the other given to specific recipes--usually a dessert which includes thin cake-like layers with some kind of creamy or jelly-like filling, along with icing and/or fruit or other toppings. Black Forest dessert is called both a gateau and a torte (and a cake); Sachertorte, on the other hand, is pretty much always called torte. The main idea, though, is that both gateaux and tortes are more than simple cakes.
No, the "Original Sacher Torte" is from the Sacher Hotel in Vienna, Austria.
The difference between Protestant and Catholic Church decoration is great and varied and I should liken it to the difference between a donut and a French Gateaux. One is simple and the other is quite complex; each one reflecting the Theology that prevails in the institution. This is reflected in all aspects of the building; so, the richer the Tradition more elaborate the building.
