Why do we say Amen ? What does it mean?

I never thought I would question my religion, but for some reason today I did. As me and my mother was sitting at the table about to eat, i told her to pray. Then when we were done; the question popped up why do we always say amen when we finish our prayer? What does Amen mean? So I took the time to Google search and find more information. It is said that “Amen” is a Hebrew word that stems from the word aman, which means “to be faithful, support, or confirm.” The word “amen” actually means, “so be it,” or “truly.” It is an affirmation of the dedication to God through Jesus Christ. To me words mean nothing. Just because you say amen doesn't really mean your dedicated to god. The actions that you portray on earth speaks louder than the simple word amen. We only say Amen because that's what we are taught to say. But no one has ever bothered to think about why we actually say Amen.
